HSV Hold Up Daniel Peretz’s Southampton Loan as Bayern Recall Plan Hits Snag

Overview

• Bayern Munich planned to recall Peretz from Hamburger SV and loan him to Southampton, but the early termination is on hold.
• Hamburg will not greenlight his exit until they recruit another backup after losing Matheo Raab and relying on inexperienced youth options.
• Bild reports Peretz refused Saturday training to force the move, following an earlier missed session that HSV attributed to a canceled flight.
• Head coach Merlin Polzin said the club is in intensive talks with the player, and local reporting indicated HSV expected him back in training this weekend.
• The delay could push Southampton to pursue alternatives, with HSV’s transfer work complicated by the sudden resignation of personnel chief Stefan Kuntz.
