Hamburger SV is urgently seeking a new goalkeeper following the departure of Daniel Peretz. One of the main candidates the Bundesliga club is considering this winter is 26-year-old Austrian-German goalkeeper Nicolas Kristof from SV Elversberg. HSV is prepared to offer slightly more than two million euros for the player, who is part of the second-best defense in the 2. Bundesliga and has a contract with his club until 2027. Kristof joined Elversberg in July 2021 and has not yet been capped by Austria. His current market value is €1.80m, according to Transfermarkt, and he has made 17 appearances in the league this season.
