Kicker reports on Matheo Raab's transfer to Union Berlin after leaving Hamburger SV. Matheo Raab signed with Union Berlin after not being able to secure a permanent first-team position at Hamburger SV. Despite becoming the first-choice goalkeeper temporarily, a lung infection pushed him back to the bench. Union Berlin presented him as their new signing, with the expectation that he will enhance competition among the goalkeepers. Raab was influenced by Union's recent progress and the presence of his former coach Steffen Baumgart, who previously promoted him to the first team at HSV.

Union Berlin is close to signing Matheo Raab. According to BILD information, the HSV goalkeeper passed his medical check in Berlin on Thursday and is expected to sign his contract in the afternoon. Raab sees a better sporting perspective at Union than at HSV. His transfer fee is approximately 400,000 Euros. He is initially planned as number two behind first-choice goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow but aims to challenge for the number one spot. The move to Berlin offers both parties new perspectives, and coach Steffen Baumgart, who knows Raab from his time at HSV, wants to trust his qualities again.

According to Bild, discussions regarding Matheo Raab's potential transfer from Hamburger SV to Union Berlin are progressing well. It is reported that Raab is likely to step in as the backup goalkeeper at Union Berlin, replacing Alexander Schwolow, whose contract was not extended. This situation has opened up a chance for Raab, who has been permitted by HSV to engage in talks with Union Berlin. Raab's prior working relationship with Union's coach, Steffen Baumgart, during their time in Hamburg, is considered a crucial element in facilitating the transfer. Despite having previously faced challenges due to injuries, Raab's perseverance and dependability are highlighted as reasons for his preference for the role. Although a final agreement has not yet been finalized, the transfer is anticipated to be completed shortly.
