No Bayern interest after all? Confusion over HSV keeper Heuer Fernandes! | OneFootball

Will Daniel Heuer Fernandes stay at HSV? Or could he end up at FC Bayern after all? Conflicting reports about the goalkeeper’s future have been circulating in recent days. 

The speculation began with a report by Sport Bild. According to the report, Heuer Fernandes is on the shortlist of the German record champions. The reason is the still uncertain future of Manuel Neuer, whose retirement at the end of the season cannot be ruled out. In that case, Bayern are reportedly planning with Jonas Urbig as the new number one. The rising star would then be backed up by an experienced alternative.

This profile undoubtedly fits the HSV keeper. Heuer Fernandes has Bundesliga experience, is reliable in build-up play, and has already earned the Rothosen several important points this season. On top of that, the 33-year-old would likely be anything but expensive. If HSV stay up, his contract will be extended until 2027; in the event of relegation, no transfer fee would be due at all. That could make him an interesting option for FC Bayern.

HSV boss: “No new update” on Heuer Fernandes

Sky reports, however, that there is nothing to these rumors. According to that report, Heuer Fernandes is not considered a serious option in Munich — not even if Neuer ends his career this summer and Bayern look for an experienced goalkeeper behind Urbig. So it is one claim against another.

For HSV, the discussion comes at a sensitive time anyway. The club is still battling to stay up and currently has to plan for next season on two fronts. Work on an early extension of Heuer Fernandes’ contract has also been unsuccessful so far. “There is no new update,” sporting director Claus Costa said as recently as Friday in an Mopo interview. So regardless of any possible interest from Bayern, the goalkeeper’s future remains completely open.
