Yet to feature: This HSV star is considering a move in the winter window | OneFootball

During the winter break, HSV wants to slim down its large 30-man squad in several positions. There are multiple candidates for departure.

While teammate Bakery Jatta is still hoping to stay despite very limited sporting prospects, a different picture is emerging for Noah Katterbach. The 24-year-old, who was permanently signed from 1. FC Köln in the summer of 2024 after a previous loan, is still waiting for his first competitive minute this season and is now seriously considering a change of scenery. This is reported by Bild.

The former U21 international has only played in the Regionalliga this season. He has made five appearances for the U21s, but has no chance with the first team. It’s no wonder that his desire for regular playing time is growing. Bild speculates about possible interest from the 2. Bundesliga, where many clubs could use his profile. A move abroad is also conceivable. Back in the 2022/23 season, Katterbach played on loan at FC Basel, where he gained valuable experience.

Katterbach currently without a chance at HSV

His relationship with the club was strained by a suspension in September. For about three weeks, the full-back did not train with the first team under Merlin Polzin, but instead with the U21s. The reason was publicly communicated criticism regarding his body language and attitude. Although the defensive all-rounder returned afterwards, he still hasn’t seen any playing time since then.

Katterbach himself is keeping several options open. In mid-October, he announced that he would draw his own conclusions in the winter and hold talks with HSV’s management. While his basic wish is to stay in Hamburg, he says that without the prospect of regular minutes, he must consider alternatives.

If an exciting offer comes in for Katterbach and HSV gives the green light, a winter transfer could be the most likely solution.
