HSV is working flat out to sign another central defender. In addition to Stefan Posch, the club is also interested in Warmed Omari.
This is probably the biggest construction site in the squad: After signing Jordan Torunarigha, Hamburger SV is determined to sign an additional central defender at any cost. Ideally, the new player should have signed at Volkspark before the Mallorca training camp begins next Wednesday.
The most promising candidate at the moment is Stefan Posch. According to the Italian Corriere dello Sport, the Rothosen have already reached an agreement with the player. Negotiations with FC Bologna are also reportedly so far advanced that an official announcement can be expected soon.
German media such as Bild and Mopo disagree: things are definitely not that far along with Posch yet. HSV has several candidates for the center of defense in mind and is looking both in the Bundesliga and abroad.
One of these candidates could be Warmed Omari from Stade Rennes. According to information from the portal Fussballtransfers, the Rothosen have expressed their interest in the 25-year-old. However, the Comorian international is attracting interest not only in Hamburg: Stade Brest and Serie A club Udinese Calcio are also said to have made contact. The Italians in particular are making a strong push for Omari.
The 1.88m giant spent last season on loan at Olympique Lyon. However, he only made four competitive appearances across all competitions there. In the summer, the right-footer returned to Rennes, where he is under contract until 2027. His market value is estimated at three million euros.
