SV Elversberg hesitates to exercise the buyout option for Immanuel Pherai. The attacking player celebrated the promotion to the 2. Bundesliga with the team. Pherai played 13 games in the second half of the season and scored two goals and two assists. The HSV could have a problem if Elversberg lets the buyout option expire. If Pherai has to look for a new employer, he has no sporting prospects in the Hanseatic city. Lukasz Poreba has exercised the buyout option for the Pole and transferred 1.6 million euros to the HSV. Poreba was an important performance driver for the Saarlanders in the past season. The decision reflects the strong development of the midfielder.
