“We’re just at the start”: HSV talks with Heuer Fernandes continue! | OneFootball

Daniel Heuer Fernandes was the only bright spot for HSV in the 0–4 defeat against VfB Stuttgart. Yet of all things, his future is now raising question marks.

The 33-year-old’s contract expires in the summer. It does automatically extend in the event of survival, but both sides are aiming for a long-term solution. Heuer Fernandes himself made it clear after the final whistle that this is still a long way off. “There’s simply nothing to announce yet,” he said in an interview with DAZN. “The talks are ongoing. We’re at the beginning.”

That last statement in particular came as something of a surprise. After all, there have already been several talks recently between the club and his agent. Even so, there is still no breakthrough in sight. That carries risks for HSV: the longer the negotiations drag on, the greater the likelihood that the goalkeeper will start looking at alternatives. And there is certainly no shortage of interested clubs from Germany and abroad. Even Bayern Munich are said to have the veteran on their radar in the event Manuel Neuer ends his career.

In any case, negotiations are easier once survival has been secured…
