St. Pauli or Saudi Arabia? Sahiti pushing for HSV exit | OneFootball

Several professionals could still leave HSV during the current transfer window. Emir Sahiti is especially determined to push for a move.

The past half-year has been unsatisfactory for him. Although Sahiti was in the starting lineup for the opening matches against Mönchengladbach and St. Pauli, he surprisingly received no further playing time in the league afterwards. For the most part, the Kosovar did not even make the squad. As reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt, his agents are working on his departure.

Sahiti has already been offered to several clubs, including city rivals FC St. Pauli. However, they are pursuing other plans. In any case, no concrete transfer option has emerged for the attacking player so far. The 27-year-old himself has asked his agency to arrange a move to Saudi Arabia, where, as is well known, good money can be earned. Whether he has any chances there is currently unclear.

Other players could leave besides Sahiti

Besides Sahiti, Silvan Hefti is also likely to leave in the winter. HSV had invested 1.5 million euros in his services as recently as summer 2024. However, the full-back was rarely able to impress even at second division level. Since the promotion, he has been completely sidelined. If he leaves, the Hanseatic club would probably have to pay compensation due to his contract running until 2028. The 28-year-old’s agency is already in talks with the club about a contract termination.

At the same time, they are negotiating with interested parties. HSV has already received some initial informal inquiries for Hefti. Whether this is also the case for Noah Katterbach is not known. Despite his quick recovery from a second cruciate ligament tear, Merlin Polzin no longer placed his trust in him. That will not change in the future. The club is now looking for a backup for Miro Muheim, and that backup will not be Katterbach.

Thus, the squad, which currently numbers over 30 players, could shrink significantly in the winter. A separation from Immanuel Pherai also does not seem entirely out of the question if a suitable offer comes in. Veteran Jonas Meffert (Holstein Kiel) and Raif Adam, who played for the U21s, have already left for Elversberg, although HSV retains a buy-back option. In addition, Daniel Peretz’s loan is close to being terminated.
