Daniel Peretz, the Israeli national goalkeeper, aims to leave Hamburger SV this winter for FC Southampton. However, the Bundesliga club is currently blocking the transfer.
Bayern Loan Player Seeks Move to England
Peretz, on loan from Bayern Munich, is eager for more playtime. He is reportedly dissatisfied with his limited role at HSV, where he has not played in the league yet. Although he made two appearances in the DFB-Pokal, this has not satisfied his desire for competitive matches.
Transfer Situation
Southampton has expressed interest in signing him, including a potential purchase option. Nevertheless, Hamburg’s management has stated that they will not release Peretz until they secure a suitable replacement.
- Current loan club: Hamburger SV
- Loan origin: Bayern Munich (contract until 2028)
- Interest from: FC Southampton
- Reasons for leaving: Lack of playing time
HSV head coach Merlin Polzin acknowledged that Peretz’s wish to leave is well-known. However, he emphasized the club’s need to secure their interests and avoid distractions, especially during their relegation battle.
Recent Developments
Peretz’s absence from training sparked rumors of a potential strike, but the club quickly dismissed these claims. Polzin confirmed that the player faced travel issues and delayed his return. He reassured fans that ongoing discussions regarding Peretz’s future are unrelated to his delayed arrival.
The situation remains fluid as Hamburg actively seeks solutions. Until they find a new goalkeeper, the status of Peretz at HSV remains unchanged. His future may hinge on the club’s ability to reinforce its squad in the coming weeks.
