HSV make bid for Ligue 1 star: have they found their dream No 10? | OneFootball

In the 0-0 draw in Gladbach, it became apparent once again that HSV is missing a creative player. This gap could soon be filled.

The Hamburger SV is still on the lookout for a strong player for the central midfield just days before the end of the transfer period. The Rothosen may have found one in France.

According to the sports newspaper L’Équipe, HSV has made an official offer for Fabian Rieder to the Ligue 1 club Stade Rennes. This solidifies the Hanseatic club's efforts to acquire the Swiss national player, whose name has already been circulating around the Volkspark in recent days.

Rieder, 23 years old, moved from BSC Young Boys to France in 2023 but has not been able to establish himself there sustainably. In the past season, he was loaned to VfB Stuttgart, where he was able to make a significant impact, especially in the first half of the season. The 21-time national player scored one goal and provided four assists in 21 Bundesliga matches. In the summer, he returned to Rennes, where his sporting future is still not fully clarified.

HSV Faces Bundesliga Competition

Interestingly, besides HSV, Bundesliga competitor FC Augsburg is also reportedly interested in Rieder. Both clubs see the playmaker as a creative focal point that could add further impetus to their offensive play. However, it is not yet known whether the offers involve a loan or a permanent transfer.

It is also unclear how Stade Rennes will position itself. The French club originally signed the Swiss player with high expectations and for 15 million euros. He was also in the starting lineup for the first two Ligue 1 matches of this season.

The consequence: Rieder might be too expensive for HSV! As reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt, the chances of a transfer are currently rather slim.
