Who will succeed Peretz? HSV eye up the 2. Bundesliga! | OneFootball

The early departure of Daniel Peretz has brought new movement to HSV's personnel planning between the posts.

Although first-choice keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes still enjoys the club’s full confidence, Hamburg is determined to strengthen their squad following the departure of the Bayern loanee in the winter.

In the short term, however, the club’s own talents are moving into the spotlight. Hannes Hermann and Fernando Dickes will both be part of the first team squad for the away game in Freiburg (Saturday, 3:30 pm) for the first time together. Hermann is planned as the backup for Heuer Fernandes. Dickes will also travel to Breisgau to be ready in case of any injury. Looking ahead to the second half of the season, however, HSV wants to sign an external goalkeeper.

Internally, two scenarios are being discussed: the loan of an experienced goalkeeper until the end of the season or a permanent transfer with the perspective of becoming the future number one. The latter was actually planned for the summer, but Peretz’s departure has accelerated these plans.

HSV: Kristof could succeed Heuer Fernandes in the long term

According to the Hamburger Abendblatt, there is even a concrete candidate in Nicolas Kristof from SV 07 Elversberg. The platform transfermarkt.de confirms the interest. The 26-year-old Austrian is considered one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the 2. Bundesliga and impresses with strong positioning and well-developed footballing skills. Kristof is among the league leaders in save percentage and is a key factor in Elversberg’s stable defense.

However, whether a transfer in the winter is realistic remains unclear. Elversberg is fighting for promotion, but is generally open to talks if the transfer fee is right. HSV would have a financial leeway of just over two million euros, made possible by the relatively inexpensive loan of striker Damion Downs.

At the same time, talks are ongoing about a contract extension with Heuer Fernandes. According to the Hamburger Abendblatt, the promotion hero has been made aware that the club is looking for a new number one in the medium term. No surprise: Heuer Fernandes will celebrate his 34th birthday this year.
