Deal close: HSV reach agreement with left-back! | OneFootball

It has been known for some time that HSV is interested in Almugera Kabar. His signing is getting closer and closer.

On Thursday evening, the "Ruhr Nachrichten" reported that Merlin Polzin personally convinced the 19-year-old to make the move from Dortmund to Hamburg. In particular, the coach is said to have presented Kabar with an attractive sporting perspective. The exchange was characterized by a great deal of trust. The talks between HSV and the player's side are therefore already well advanced. Only details remain to be settled.

However, an agreement with Borussia Dortmund is still pending, as Kabar has only played for their regional league team. Currently, there are still differences in the transfer fee expectations. BVB does not want to let the Bremen-born player go for a bargain price. A loan with an option to buy is also conceivable, although the player's camp prefers a permanent transfer.

HSV: Kabar to challenge top dog Muheim

If no solution is found between Dortmund and HSV, VfL Wolfsburg could benefit. Talks have also already taken place between Kabar, who triumphed with Germany at the U17 World Cup in 2023, and the club from the car city. In addition, interest from the Premier League club Brentford remains. Meanwhile, BVB is already working on signing a new left-back. According to Sky, there is a verbal agreement with 17-year-old Brazilian Kauã Prates from Cruzeiro, for whom a transfer fee of around ten million euros would be due.

Kabar, who has not played a role under Kovac anyway, is therefore likely to be released despite his contract running until 2028. In Hamburg, he would act as a challenger to the previously undisputed Miro Muheim, who brings high quality in possession but has allowed one or two defensive lapses too many this season. The previous backup, Noah Katterbach, is completely out of the picture under Polzin, so the physically strong Kabar would immediately start as the first alternative.
