HSV chapter over? Two loanees face an uncertain future

The HSV pros are currently either away with their national teams or already on vacation. For Claus Costa, that’s the last thing on his mind.

For Hamburg’s sporting director, the busiest time of the year is only just beginning. Just a few days ago, he was able to wrap up the signing of Kofi Amoako, the club’s first new arrival of the summer. The future of some loan players, however, remains unclear for now. Lukasz Poreba and Immanuel Pherai are expected to join SV 07 Elversberg permanently after securing promotion to the Bundesliga. Among others, this is reported by kicker.

There is still far less clarity in the case of Emir Sahiti. According to information from Bild, a permanent move to Maccabi Tel Aviv remains in question. The attacking player was loaned to the Israeli top club for the second half of the season and recently won the domestic cup there. Maccabi are said to be generally interested in activating the agreed purchase option worth around €500,000 and have already signaled this to HSV.

Whether that will actually happen, however, appears to be open. Sahiti himself is apparently hesitant about returning to Israel. The main reason is said to be the tense security situation there. According to the report, his wife and their daughter are currently not living in Israel. If the 27-year-old does not agree to a permanent transfer, he would initially return to Hamburg. A fresh start at HSV or another transfer would then be possible.

HSV: What’s next for Soumahoro?

The situation is also still unresolved for Aboubaka Soumahoro. According to information from Bild, the center-back will not be signed permanently by his loan club AS Saint-Étienne. Since his move in January, the 21-year-old has not made a single competitive appearance there.

HSV will therefore likely have to begin searching again for a suitable solution. Another loan move is reportedly the most likely scenario in order to give Soumahoro regular playing time at a consistent level. The French talent barely featured in the first half of the season at the Volkspark.
