What next? HSV reject Elversberg bid for Pherai | OneFootball

Shortly before the start of summer preparations, Immanuel Pherai’s future remains unresolved. For the time being, the midfielder will return to HSV following his loan spell at Elversberg.

A permanent departure remains the most realistic scenario. However, Hamburg have now rejected an initial offer from the Saarland club. According to information from Bild, Elversberg offered around €850,000 for the 25-year-old. HSV, however, considered that amount too low. The ball is now back in the Saarlanders’ court, and they must decide whether to improve their offer or withdraw their interest in Pherai.

Also interesting is how the situation has developed over the past few days. First, SVE let the purchase option included in the loan agreement expire. That option is said to have been set at €1.5 million plus possible bonus payments. Afterwards, Mopo initially reported a new offer worth two million euros, but shortly afterwards corrected that account and spoke only of an offer “around the one-million mark.” That version now largely matches Bild’s information about the offer rejected by HSV.

What happens next for Pherai therefore remains open. From a sporting perspective, the Suriname international made a good impression in Elversberg and contributed to promotion to the Bundesliga with two goals and two assists. Even so, there still appears to be a gap between the two clubs’ financial expectations.

HSV: What happens with Soumahoro and Sahiti?

While there are at least concrete talks regarding Pherai, the situation surrounding two other returning loanees is far less clear. Centre-back Aboubaka Soumahoro will report back to the Volkspark after a disappointing loan spell at AS Saint-Étienne. The Frenchman did not feature in a single competitive match in his home country and could be sent out on loan again. According to Bild, possible destinations include the second divisions in Germany or France, as well as Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League.

Emir Sahiti is also, for the time being, back in the HSV squad. The Kosovan impressed at Israeli top club Maccabi Tel Aviv with four goals and four assists in 18 competitive matches. However, the purchase option of around €500,000 has expired, which is why the player and the club are looking for an alternative solution.
