Bayern’s Peretz Loan to Southampton Stalls as HSV Blocks Early Recall

Overview

• Bayern Munich plan to recall Daniel Peretz from Hamburg and re-loan him to Southampton, and the goalkeeper wants the move.
• HSV head coach Merlin Polzin said Peretz missed the start of training because his flight was canceled and noted very intensive talks over his future.
• Reporting indicates HSV will not terminate the loan until a backup is signed after Matheo Raab’s summer departure left only inexperienced cover behind Daniel Heuer Fernandes.
• The hold-up is also linked in coverage to the unexpected resignation of personnel chief Stefan Kuntz, which has disrupted HSV’s January transfer planning.
• There is a reported risk Southampton turn to another target if the delay persists, with HSV expecting Peretz to be back in training this weekend.
