HSV talent moves to second division team

Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. The news ticker on t-online contains all the important reports about the “Rothosen”.

SV Elversberg has offensive talent Raif Adam from the second team Hamburger SV obligated. The 20-year-old winger from the northern regional league team will receive a contract until 2029, as the Saarland second division team announced.

The Hamburg native was directly involved in 13 goals in 21 competitive games up to the winter break – he scored seven goals himself. “Raif has very good technical skills and is very assertive in offensive one-on-one situations,” said SVE sports director Ole Book. “We see him as having the potential to perform at a higher level.”

Goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, who is willing to change, also missed the second team training session of the new year at Hamburger SV. Instead of going out on the pitch with his teammates in the blowing snow in Hamburg, the goalkeeper, on loan from Bayern Munich, completed a session in the weight room.

The 25-year-old is at HSV only number two behind Daniel Heuer Fernandes and therefore dissatisfied with his situation. The keeper is aiming for a change of club and would like to move to Southampton FC in England.

Jonas Meffert is leaving Hamburger SV after four and a half years and returning to second division football club Holstein Kiel. Both clubs announced this. The 31-year-old midfielder had previously been released for contract discussions.

The Cologne native was active on the Kiel Fjord from 2018 to 2021 before joining HSV for the 2021/22 season and, with 146 games, played more competitive games there than for any other club in his career.

“Meffo was the epitome of consistency, reliability and team spirit. That’s precisely why there was no question for us that we would come to a solution together with a view to a sporting change that would give him more playing time,” said HSV sports director Claus Costa.

The defensive midfielder only played 144 minutes in four games for HSV in the first half of the season. “To this day, Holstein Kiel is a special club for me with which I was able to experience many beautiful and emotional moments. I experienced an important part of my career here and am very happy to be returning and being part of this environment again,” said Meffert.

Stefan Kuntz has surprisingly resigned from his position as HSV board member with immediate effect – for personal family reasons, as the club announced on Friday.
