No personality at HSV is hotter than this at the moment. Faride Alidou is Hamburg’s whiz kid, became a fan favorite in record time – and, that’s the catch, has an expiring contract. As soon as possible, the HSV would like to extend with his offensive man. But it won’t be easy. Behind the scenes, the fight for the 20-year-old has flared up.
Since Thursday, some of the greatest in world football have also known what Alidou can do. On his debut for Germany’s U20s, the HSV professional continued his impressive ascent, scored 2-1 at 3-2 in France and also took a penalty. The superstars Kylian Mbappé, Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann, who attended the game in Clairefontaine together with the entire A-team of the French, were amazed in the stands. A world championship honor.
The next step for Alidou, who played for Germany for the first time. And an appearance that increases the pressure on HSV even more. Because a huge vortex has arisen around the native Wilhelmsburger. This is another reason why there is a clear maxim in the Volkspark: Alidou should extend as soon as possible. The premise is that the number should be wrapped up by Christmas at the latest.
Bundesliga club interested in HSV talent Alidou
However, it is completely open whether this can work. According to MOPO information, the HSV and Alidous agents are in ongoing and promising talks. The problem: More and more clubs are knocking on the winger, who only needed four second division games to draw attention to himself.
The MOPO spoke to several scouts from various Bundesliga clubs. The unanimous tenor: precisely because of its expiring contract, Alidou is currently one of the hottest stocks on the German market. Alidou should be on the radar of almost all clubs with potential in the league from fifth place onwards. His agents recently received a corresponding number of inquiries.

A highly dangerous situation for HSV. Many a Bundesliga team, so it can be heard, should really work hard and try to turn the talent’s head. The leap into the Bundesliga, a clear concept – and of course money, serve as a lure.
Can the HSV keep up? As seventh in the table, Hamburg are currently five points behind the direct promotion places, whether they will be able to play for the return to the Bundesliga this year is questionable. There are also financial limits compared to clubs on the first floor.
HSV is an affair of the heart for Alidou
Nevertheless, HSV has a real chance. Because Alidou, who switched from Einigkeit Wilhelmsburg to HSV youth shortly before his eleventh birthday, is attached to his club. And he appreciates that Tim Walter pulled him out of the U21 two months ago and gave him the chance to recommend himself to the pros. The coach, so Alidou can hear, could be the key to an agreement in contract poker. It can be heard that the HSV bosses are trying extremely hard to get Alidou’s signature. This is also well received by the youngster.

Open how it goes on. One thing is clear: If Alidou, whose star is just rising, leaves his heart club in the summer for free, that would be a very bad signal for HSV. This is one of the reasons why the bosses were quickly on track and hope to find an agreement with their top talent soon. A wish that is at the top of the list before Christmas.
