HSV complete centre-back signing | OneFootball

Newly-promoted Bundesliga side Hamburger SV have strengthened their defense ahead of the 2025/26 season.

On Thursday, the North German club confirmed the loan signing of 25-year-old centre-back Warmed Omari from Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennes.

“Warmed is a player that has already picked up lots of experience in Ligue 1 and in European competition. He also has the potential to improve even more – we want to help him fulfil that potential together,” said HSV board member for sport Stefan Kuntz.

“Warmed is a modern centre-back with interesting attributes,” added director of football Claus Costa.

“He’s quick, has a good technique and is comfortable with the ball at his feet as well. He’s an intelligent and brave defender. His qualities will make our defence more versatile. Despite not featuring too much last season, we believe in Warmed’s qualities and are delighted that he’s joined the club.”

Omari himself is eager to get started at his new club.

"My discussions with the sporting management and the coach all went well and I could sense a real feeling a trust from the club's side. I'm now looking forward to getting to know my new teammates and to help HSV achieve their sporting goals," he said.
