Contract until 2027: Only this could push Muheim to leave HSV | OneFootball

Miro Muheim has probably just played the biggest match of his career: in the World Cup quarter-final against Argentina, the HSV star was on the pitch for around 40 minutes and experienced the bitter 3-1 defeat after extra time from close range.

Among the Rothosen, the Swiss team’s campaign was naturally followed with great attention. But despite all the sympathy for Muheim, HSV must also ask itself the following question out of pure self-interest: will the left-back stay at the Volkspark beyond 2027, or could a departure still happen?

Muheim has long been one of the most important players in head coach Merlin Polzin’s squad. Last season, the 28-year-old even wore the captain’s armband several times and, despite occasional defensive lapses, played a huge part in the team’s ultimately comfortable survival. Accordingly, his standing within the squad is very high.

The Swiss player himself feels completely at home in Hamburg. He loves the club and values his role as a leader and key performer. That is exactly why a transfer currently seems realistic only under one very specific condition.

HSV and Muheim: first talks after the World Cup?

According to the Hamburger Abendblatt, Muheim would probably only seriously consider leaving if the opportunity arose to join a club competing internationally. In other words, a club that regularly plays in European competitions and offers him the chance to compete at the highest level.

So far, however, there are no signs of such a scenario. Despite his World Cup appearance, Muheim has not yet managed to generate lasting attention on the transfer market. Serious offers are reportedly not currently on the table. In addition, the tournament as a whole was rather mixed for the HSV professional. After an unfortunate start and a calf injury in between, he only picked up important minutes again in the round of 16 against Colombia.

Even so, the final word has by no means been spoken on this matter. Since Muheim’s contract only runs until 2027, this summer would be HSV’s last chance to secure a larger transfer fee. There is therefore a lot to suggest that initial talks over a contract extension will begin after the World Cup. As long as no European contender makes a serious move, however, staying in the Hanseatic city seems likely.
