Despite strong pre-season form, HSV star set to be sold | OneFootball

Hamburg SV wants to sell Silvan Hefti this summer. As soon as a replacement is found, the Swiss player can leave.

In the right-back duel with William Mikelbrencis, Silvan Hefti seems to have come up short. According to kicker , Hamburg SV wants to part ways with the 27-year-old this summer.

Recently, several media outlets had consistently reported that either Mikelbrencis or Hefti would have to leave as soon as a new player for the right defensive side was found. Now, it seems that the decision has been made in favor of the Swiss player!

However, the ten-time junior national player has made a good impression in the current preparation. In the test matches, Hefti performed his defensive tasks much more confidently compared to Mikelbrencis. Additionally, he set positive accents in the offense in combination with Emir Sahiti.

Hefti's replacement possibly by mid-next week?

The decision in favor of Mikelbrencis is likely due to age and development potential rather than current form. Hefti is six years older than his French counterpart and therefore has significantly less upside.

Furthermore, the Swiss player had a disappointing debut season after his signing last summer and was unable to justify the transfer fee of around 1.5 million euros at any point.

A Hefti departure is likely to gain momentum as soon as HSV finds a suitable replacement. The goal is to have both a center-back and a right-back signed at the Volkspark by the start of the second training camp next Wednesday. The new signings must have immediate starter quality and provide the necessary Bundesliga maturity to the defense.

Incidentally, the same applies to Guilherme Ramos. The Portuguese center-back, who was loaned to CD Santa Clara last season, has been a candidate for sale for some time. If the Red Shorts find a suitable buyer, nothing stands in the way of a sale or another loan.
