Transfer hope: HSV ‘in a good position’ for this player | OneFootball

In recent weeks, more and more reports have emerged that HSV are very interested in Elias Baum. The youngster is seen as the right-back of the future.

HSV have now apparently received a boost in their pursuit of the 20-year-old. As Bild reports, the Hanseatic club are “in a good position” with Baum. No preliminary decision has been made yet, but this assessment is still likely to fuel optimism around the Volkspark.

The four-time Germany U21 international is considered one of the most sought-after young full-backs on the market. Alongside HSV, FC Augsburg, Werder Bremen and FC Schalke 04 are also interested in the Frankfurt academy product. As a result, the competition is intense.

HSV: Polzin talk impressed Baum

It comes as no surprise that Hamburg are actively involved in this race. Following the departures of William Mikelbrencis and Giorgi Gocholeishvili, there is an urgent need for reinforcements on the right side of defence. Baum would therefore have an excellent chance of getting regular playing time. He is also said to have been impressed by an in-depth conversation with coach Merlin Polzin. The HSV coach explained to the talent in detail what role he could play in the team in the future and how his development might progress.

However, the transfer is still far from a done deal. Before Baum makes a final decision, his prospects in Frankfurt are expected to be clarified first. That is currently the biggest unknown. Because even if the right-footer chooses HSV, Frankfurt would still have to agree to a sale or a loan move. The Hessian club are considered open to talks, but a final decision has not yet been made.
