Next new signing? HSV eyeing up a winger | OneFootball

Hamburg SV has already presented nine new signings for the upcoming season. More players could follow. Ibrahim Salah might be among them.

Hamburg SV seems to need offensive reinforcements considering the results and performances shown. Only two goals, including a converted hand penalty by Yussuf Poulsen, were scored in the five matches against renowned opponents. The problem in the games was not in finishing, but mostly in creating scoring opportunities. The opposing goalkeepers often only had to face a few challenges.

Possibly, Ibrahim Salah could solve the problems in the final third of the field. As Belgian transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri reported, Hamburg SV has shown concrete interest in the Moroccan. In addition, FC Basel and FC Getafe are also vying for his services. Stade Rennes, Salah's current employer, would approve a transfer for a fee of 1.5 million euros.

Salah: A fresh start at HSV?

The Belgian-born player has had difficult seasons behind him. He made his breakthrough at KAA Gent, after which he moved to Ligue 1 just before the closure of the winter transfer window in 2023. Rennes invested 6.5 million euros in Salah, who however only partially convinced and contributed seven goals and one assist in 47 competitive matches. This was followed by a loan to Stade Brest, which reached the knockout stage of the Champions League in the past season.

However, Salah played only a minor role there. In total, he was only in the starting line-up in six competitive matches. He completely missed the end of the season due to injury. At HSV, he could make a fresh start, feeling most comfortable on the left wing. However, he would probably have to switch to the other side. On the left, the currently missing Jean-Luc Dompé is undisputed in the newly implemented 3-4-3 system, while the ideal solution is still being sought on the right side.
