Winter sale at HSV: four players set to leave

The HSV squad is likely to change significantly in the coming days. The list of imminent departures is currently growing almost hourly.

This particularly affects the situation on the wings. After the serious injury of Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit and the suspension of Jean-Luc Dompé, who was caught driving with a blood alcohol level of 1.4, coach Merlin Polzin is gradually running out of options. This would actually be the chance for Emir Sahiti. However, the 27-year-old no longer has a sporting perspective at HSV. The sports management wants to deliberately reduce the squad, which was somewhat inflated in the first half of the season.

Sahiti is part of this and is on the verge of a move to Israel. Maccabi Tel Aviv plans to loan the Kosovar, and according to Hamburger Abendblatt, the 27-year-old is already on his way.

Sahiti joined in the summer of 2024 for 1.2 million euros from Hajduk Split and was promoted to the Bundesliga with HSV. However, he never developed into an undisputed regular player. He started the current season in the starting lineup but lost his place after the derby defeat against FC St. Pauli (0:2). Since then, no further Bundesliga minutes have been added.

HSV: Ramos, Hefti, and Pherai also on the way out

Sahiti's departure would be the fourth confirmed transfer this winter after Jonas Meffert, Anssi Suhonen, and Daniel Peretz. Additionally, further deals are close to completion. Guilherme Ramos is heading to China, and Silvan Hefti is on the verge of a move to DC United in the USA.

Noah Katterbach and Immanuel Pherai could also leave the club. The latter is likely to have his wish to move fulfilled with the impending signing of Albert Grønbæk and go to 1. FC Nürnberg. According to consistent media reports, Pherai has already reached an agreement with the Franconians.

If all the mentioned players actually leave the club, it would mean that Sporting Director Claus Costa has managed to remove almost all the deadwood from the payroll. This would create financial leeway for further reinforcements. Regardless of the impending Grønbæk transfer, HSV could still sign two more players by the deadline day: an additional offensive player and a left-back.
