Wrong transfer call? This Bayern star is feeling frustrated | OneFootball

In the summer of 2023, FC Bayern brought Daniel Peretz from Maccabi Tel Aviv to Munich for around five million euros. However, the hoped-for development failed to materialize. Instead of getting a chance as the number two behind Manuel Neuer, the Israeli now faces stagnation in the Bundesliga—and his loan to Hamburger SV has so far led to great frustration.

Bench Role Instead of Starting Spot

At HSV, Peretz was supposed to gain the much-needed match practice, especially since Munich had already signed Jonas Urbig in spring 2025 as a new challenger for the future behind Neuer. However, in Hamburg, the 25-year-old lost out in the competition: first-choice keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes clearly prevailed.

According to BILD, this decision hit Peretz hard. For the Israeli national goalkeeper, “a football world collapsed,” when the club officials told him he would start the season as the number two.

Especially painful: Peretz was reportedly looking forward to the Bundesliga clash with his parent club on matchday 3 against FC Bayern. Instead of being on the pitch, he will likely only sit on the bench at his former stomping ground. A situation that is said to have left him deeply frustrated.

According to the report, Peretz’s dissatisfaction went so far that he even considered leaving Hamburg immediately. Only after intensive talks with his partner and friends was he convinced to accept the competition at HSV.

Unclear Sporting Prospects

Whether Peretz can still assert himself in northern Germany remains questionable. What is clear: his loan spell has so far not developed as hoped—and his sporting future remains uncertain both in Hamburg and at FC Bayern.

Instead of becoming the first-choice keeper, Daniel Peretz is battling disappointment and frustration in Hamburg. For the Israeli goalkeeper, the season is turning into a test of character.
