HSV exit? Bayern step up interest in Heuer Fernandes | OneFootball

In light of the derby defeat to Werder Bremen and just one win from the last nine matches, all of HSV’s focus is currently on the here and now. Hardly anyone is sparing a thought for the coming summer at the moment.

All attention is solely on avoiding relegation. And yet, the Rothosen cannot avoid dealing with squad planning for next season. Daniel Heuer Fernandes is an integral part of those considerations. However, it is far from certain that the goalkeeper will still be under contract at the Volkspark next season.

As Sport Bild reports, Heuer Fernandes has in fact made it onto FC Bayern’s shortlist. The reason is the still uncertain future of Manuel Neuer, who could end his career after the current season.

In that case, the German record champions are planning with Jonas Urbig as their future number one. The 22-year-old is also set to have an experienced alternative alongside him. The HSV keeper fits Bayern’s profile: Heuer Fernandes has proven himself in the Bundesliga, is relatively strong with the ball at his feet, and is financially affordable.

HSV and Heuer Fernandes: Salary is the sticking point!

In Hamburg, the current rumors are unlikely to be received with much enthusiasm. Following their recent slump in form, the northern club is still battling to avoid relegation, which is also crucial for squad planning. If the promoted side stays in the league, Heuer Fernandes’ contract will automatically be extended until 2027. In the event of relegation, however, his deal will expire this summer.

But regardless of how this season ends, the Hanseatic club is aiming for an early extension and has presented the 33-year-old with a two-year offer. Heuer Fernandes is said to be in agreement with that contract length. Nevertheless, there are still considerable differences over salary, which is why an agreement remains some way off. That could now play right into FC Bayern’s hands.
