Unhappy at Union: Bénes wants to return to HSV! | OneFootball

László Bénes experienced the most successful stage of his time in Germany at HSV. The Slovakian would love to return to the Volkspark.

A year after his transfer from Hamburger SV to Union Berlin, László Bénes apparently looks back on his departure with nostalgia. The Slovakian national player, who left HSV in the summer of 2024 after missing the promotion to the Bundesliga, would most like to return to northern Germany.

At the Alte Försterei, Bénes was never really happy. Only three starts, a meager 572 minutes of playing time, two goals: The 27-year-old was never able to match his strong HSV form. Even coach Steffen Baumgart, with whom the playmaker had already worked together at the Rothosen, recently expressed himself in a telling manner: "He has to fight for his place, it's not a wish concert. Whether a player gets more playing time depends on whether he takes his chance."

Bénes not a serious topic at HSV!

For Bénes, it's clear: a club change is needed! He wants to and must recommend himself for the 2026 World Cup. According to Mopo information, HSV plays a central role in his thoughts. Privately, Bénes and his family felt extremely comfortable in the Hanseatic city, and things also went well for him sportingly, especially in his second season. In 2023/2024, he scored 13 goals and 11 assists in 27 league games.

However, a return seems to be ruled out. Although the HSV officials are aware of the midfielder's thoughts of a transfer, a return campaign is not currently being discussed. Some decision-makers in the club remember the player's departure critically. They would have preferred to see the left-footed player make another attempt at the Bundesliga in the Volkspark. The fact that Bénes has not been able to fully convince in the top division so far also diminishes the interest in a reunion.

In addition, the Elbstädter are currently looking for other solutions for the creative center. Paul Wanner from FC Bayern is considered a loan candidate, and a return of Adam Karabec also remains an option. The HSV chapter should therefore be closed for Bénes.
