Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
Hamburger SV has added to the Bundesliga mission on the transfer market. The Hanseatic League announced the commitment of central defender Warmed Omari on Thursday. The 25-year-old changes to the Elbe from the French first division club Stade Rennes.
Claus Costa, Director of Sport, is looking forward to a “modern central defender with an interesting profile.” HSV board member Stefan Kuntz is also convinced that Omari can be reinforcement in the defense center. “With WarmED we were able to win a player for us who has already gained a lot of experience in Ligue 1 and in European competitions. At the same time, he still has development potential,” he says.
For Omari, the HSV change means the first station outside of France. The defensive player was trained at Stade Rennes and returned to his youth club this summer after a one -year detour to Olympique Lyon. Now the HSV continues for one year. In total, he has the experience of 76 Ligue-1 and 10 Europa League games. Its market value is estimated by the data portal “Transfermarkt.de” to three million euros.
Not only Warmed Omari should be about to switch to HSV – the signature of right -back Giorgi Gocholeishvili is also expected promptly. According to matching information from “Abendblatt” and “Mopo”, the 24 -year -old Georgian (14 international matches) is said to complete the medical check in Hamburg on Wednesday, just like Omari.
Gocholeishvili is also to be borrowed with a purchase option – he is currently under contract with Shakhtar Donetsk, most recently he was loaned to FC Copenhagen (33 games, one goal, four templates). If everything goes according to plan for the two defenders, travel to the training camp in Mallorca after signing. On Saturday (8 p.m.), HSV will play a test game against the RCD Mallorca on the Spanish island.
In the Volksparkstadion, Giorgi Gocholeishvili already knows well: Donetsk played four games in the Champions and Europa League in Hamburg in the 2023/24 season – the right -back was used every time. With the national team of Georgia, he also played in the Volkspark at the European Championship against the Czech Republic, but only pursued the 1-1 from the bank.
