Official: HSV bid farewell to six loanees – future talks announced! | OneFootball

Two days after the end of the season, HSV has announced the official departure of a total of six loan players. But the final word does not seem to have been spoken yet.

On Monday, the club confirmed on its website that Fabio Vieira, Luka Vuskovic, Giorgi Gocholeishvili, Albert Grönbaek, Philip Otele and Damion Downs will all, “as things stand,” return to their parent clubs.

“We would like to expressly thank all six players for their performances and their commitment on behalf of the diamond,” said HSV sporting director Claus Costa, while highlighting two players in particular. “Fabio and Luka certainly stand out as absolute key players of the season that has just ended.”

However, in individual cases, these words should not necessarily be understood as a final farewell. “With regard to a possible future at HSV, we will hold talks with the various parties in the coming days,” the club announced suggestively.

And it continued: “HSV thanks the six players for their commitment and wishes them all the best for the next stage of their careers, which may possibly continue with the diamond on their chest. As they say in Hamburg, Tschüss actually means see you again.”

HSV with a chance for Vieira and Grönbaek?

These words are likely aimed primarily at Vieira and Grönbaek. Both midfielders repeatedly showed flashes of their enormous quality in the Hanseatic city and earned an excellent standing among teammates and fans alike. Vieira in particular impressed with a total of seven goals and six assists.

“As things stand, the exceptional technician will return to London,” HSV said, with the club eager to prise the Portuguese away from Arsenal. In talks, the club has already outlined to the player’s camp the prospect of a shared future. If the transfer fee can be reduced to a single-digit million figure and Vieira agrees, a permanent move is possible.

HSV will not pay that much money for Grönbaek. The newly promoted side holds a purchase option for the Danish playmaker worth five million euros. However, this will not be activated. Instead, further talks are planned with Stade Rennes in an effort to negotiate the fee down.

The club will also let the purchase options for Downs and Gocholeishvili expire. Unlike in Grönbaek’s case, however, HSV will not seek to continue working together with them. The chances of Otele staying are also slim. The same applies to super talent Vuskovic, who will return to Tottenham Hotspur. The young Croatian could possibly move to a significantly bigger club later this summer.
