HSV star raises eyebrows: "Maybe I’ll still be playing at 40" | OneFootball

Daniel Heuer Fernandes is one of the biggest constants at HSV. Since 2019, the goalkeeper has been wearing the jersey with the diamond.

This season, he finally fulfilled his dream of playing in the Bundesliga. Athletically, the 33-year-old has undoubtedly arrived in the top league. But the longer the season goes on, the more future questions come into focus. His contract with HSV is expiring, and an extension has not yet been decided.

In the Mopo interview, Heuer Fernandes, when asked about a possible extension of the collaboration, explained: “As of today, I can neither confirm nor deny it. It’s simply too early.” Nevertheless, the goalkeeper gives fans hope: “Of course, I can imagine extending with HSV. The talks will take place soon.”

The long-standing connection plays a significant role. “Everyone knows what I have experienced and achieved with this club. And just the fact that we have been working together for six and a half years is very special,” emphasizes Heuer Fernandes. For no other club has the veteran stood between the posts for so long during his career.

Heuer Fernandes thinks of a long career – will he stay with HSV?

The goalkeeper is far from considering an imminent departure from professional football. On the contrary. “I want to play as long as possible. I haven’t even thought about the end of my career,” he confidently explains. “I feel in top shape. Maybe I’ll still be playing at 40.”

Whether it continues at Volkspark beyond 2026 is currently unclear. But with each additional victory in the fight to stay in the league, HSV would gain good arguments on its side. The beginning can already be made on Saturday (3:30 PM, Sky) against Eintracht Frankfurt.
