Müller not the only option: which way will HSV go in goal? | OneFootball

HSV has not yet completed its planning for the winter transfer market. Following the departure of Daniel Peretz, the goalkeeper position is particularly in focus.

Recently, the 25-year-old left the club, leaving Daniel Heuer Fernandes as the only experienced goalkeeper in the squad of the Bundesliga newcomers. For the match against SC Freiburg (1:2), U20 national keeper Hannes Hermann therefore took a seat on the bench. With 18-year-old Fernando Dickes, HSV also has another talented goalkeeper at its disposal.

Sporting director Claus Costa is already working intensively on a solution. Various names have been discussed recently, including Nicolas Kristof from SV 07 Elversberg. However, according to a Bild report, this trail has gone cold. Instead, HSV is pursuing concrete, clearly structured plans that are now entering the implementation phase. However, no decision is expected in the short term. By the upcoming Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday, it is unlikely that a new goalkeeper will have been signed.

Peretz Successor: HSV Considering Two Options

Basically, the HSV bosses are considering two models. The first option is to sign an experienced keeper who would serve as the number two until the end of the season. Such a solution would bring short-term stability and at the same time take the pressure off the young talents. This fits especially with the rumors about Kevin Müller, who, according to Sky information, is currently the favorite to succeed Peretz.

Alternatively, a highly talented goalkeeper could be signed who would initially start as Heuer Fernandes' backup, but could develop into the new number one in the long term.

However, one criterion is clearly defined: The new goalkeeper should not overtake Heuer Fernandes during the current season! Such a move would not only be risky from a sporting perspective, but would also hinder the currently relaxed contract talks with the veteran. These are expected to be intensified in February.

Heuer Fernandes has been guarding HSV’s goal since 2019, making him, after Bakery Jatta, the longest-serving professional in the squad. With his strong performances, the German-Portuguese has also played a major role in the promotion as well as in the overall stable season so far.
