Muheim off after the World Cup? HSV left-back spot in focus | OneFootball

Could HSV be facing a reshuffle at left-back next summer? The main focus is on Miro Muheim’s future.

The 28-year-old is continuing to raise his profile with the Swiss national team. In the spectacular 3:4 defeat to Germany, Muheim provided the assist for the interim 3:3 after coming on as a substitute. It was already his third goal involvement in his seventh international appearance. Behind veteran Ricardo Rodriguez, the Hamburg player is firmly established as the backup and has an excellent chance of making the World Cup squad.

Either way, Muheim is at a pivotal stage of his career. His contract with HSV only runs until 2027, and given his age, his next signature will likely be his last opportunity to secure another long-term, lucrative deal.

So if the left-footer gets regular playing time at the World Cup, interest from other financially strong clubs is likely to grow. If, on the other hand, he plays a smaller role, “a contract extension does not seem out of the question in the long term,” Bild reports. According to the report, sporting director Claus Costa is planning initial talks about a shared future even before the tournament begins.

New HSV move for Kabar?

Muheim himself has remained tight-lipped so far, but recently sent positive signals toward HSV. “I love this club, I identify with the city, the fans, and the club. But right now the focus is solely on the final stretch of the league season. Maybe it’s something that will be discussed in the summer. Who knows what will happen,” he said in Switzerland’s Blick.

What is clear, however, is that the promoted side must be prepared for every scenario. It can therefore be assumed that HSV will look to the transfer market for options at left-back. Almugera Kabar of Borussia Dortmund was already close to a move to Hamburg in the winter and is still considered a realistic candidate.
