Possible Muheim successor: HSV keen on World Cup player! | OneFootball

The future of Miro Muheim will keep HSV even more intensely occupied in the coming weeks. The club appears to be prepared for a possible departure.

As the Austrian Kronen Zeitung reported in today’s edition, those in charge are looking into Tae-seok Lee of Austria Vienna, who made a lasting impression in his first season, immediately established himself as a regular in the role of left wing-back, and was involved in eight goals in 30 Bundesliga appearances. In addition, the 23-year-old was also part of South Korea’s World Cup squad and featured against the Czech Republic and South Africa.

However, he was unable to prevent the disappointing elimination in one of the easiest groups of the tournament despite being named in the starting lineup twice. Lee has now earned 17 international caps overall. He had already made the jump to the senior national team while still playing in his domestic league. His move abroad only came about a year ago. Austria Vienna paid a transfer fee of 800,000 euros to the Pohang Steelers.

HSV’s planning depends on Muheim

Because of his convincing performances, his market value has risen. HSV would undoubtedly have to invest a seven-figure sum to secure the services of Lee, who is under contract with the 24-time Austrian champions until 2029. At the moment, according to Mopo information, he is not a hot topic. That could still change over the course of the transfer window. After all, the departure of Miro Muheim, who has been a fixture on the left side for several years, cannot be completely ruled out.

His contract runs until 30 June 2027. Initial talks over an extension will likely begin after the Swiss international returns from vacation. If no agreement is reached, HSV could look to sell him. This summer would be the last opportunity to still receive a respectable transfer fee.

Nur die Raute – All the news about HSV

At present, there are said to be no serious offers for Muheim. In any case, he is reportedly very happy in Hamburg and would only seriously consider a move if an internationally competing club came in for him. If it comes to that, HSV would have to react — even though the club is currently developing the highly rated homegrown talent Louis Lemke, still only 16, in that position — and could possibly return to Lee.
