Five weeks before the end of the transfer window, HSV still has a lot to do. Numerous players are likely to leave the club.

With the loan of Anssi Suhonen to Östers IF, Hamburger SV has gotten rid of another player without a sporting perspective at the club. However, the work for sports director Stefan Kuntz and sports director Claus Costa is far from done. The to-do list for the remaining five weeks of the transfer period is long and clearly prioritized according to a Bild report!

1. Defensive Reinforcements:

After signing Daniel Peretz, who was loaned for a year from FC Bayern Munich, HSV officials are now focusing on two more areas: A central defender and a player for the right defensive flank are expected to arrive soon. Talks are already underway. While Armel Bella-Kotchap is considered a candidate for the center, there are currently only a few rumors circulating for the right side.

2. Forcing Departures:

The Rothosen still want to part ways with several players. Especially in defense, space must be made in case of further new signings. Guilherme Ramos and Joel Agyekum (who is to be loaned out) are on the chopping block. Silvan Hefti and captain Sebastian Schonlau could also leave the club if suitable replacements are found.

Currently, there is no urgent need for action in the offense. Robert Glatzel and newcomer Yussuf Poulsen share the striker position in training sessions. And a return of Adam Karabec is not expected in the short term, even though Sparta Prague would be willing to loan him again.

3. Waiting for the Transfer Sprint:

From mid-August, the picture on the transfer market could change significantly. Kuntz and Costa expect new opportunities to arise shortly before the deadline day. In such a scenario, HSV wants to be ready to act. This could particularly affect the playmaker position, where Bayern youngster Paul Wanner is among those being considered.

4. Securing the Coaching Team:

An issue aside from the player squad: The contracts of head coach Merlin Polzin and his coaching team are to be extended long-term. The signature is still missing, but internally the agreement is considered a formality. The club could announce completion soon.
