Departure almost sealed: HSV star set for Austria! | OneFootball

At HSV, another departure is looming just one day after Deadline Day. It concerns one of the club’s promotion heroes. 

Daniel Elfadli is on the verge of a move to LASK Linz. The 29-year-old defensive utility player is set to join the Austrian champions on a one-season loan. According to Bild, the deal does not include an option to buy.

This development also explains Elfadli’s absence from team training on Wednesday. A day earlier, the Libyan had still been working in the gym, but he is now reportedly on his way to Austria. A very special adventure could await the HSV professional there: LASK have qualified for the Champions League. In Europe’s premier competition, clashes with Real Madrid and Liverpool FC, among others, await.

Elfadli had fallen out of favor at HSV

For Elfadli, the move would therefore be an attractive opportunity to gain match practice at the highest European level. At HSV, however, the regular starter from the 2025 promotion season had hardly featured recently. Although Elfadli was included in the squad both in the DFB-Pokal match against SC Verl (3:0) and in the Bundesliga opener in Dortmund (0:2), he did not make an appearance in either game.

The impending transfer to Linz now only needs to be finalized. The Austrian transfer window closes on Thursday at 5 p.m. There is therefore still time until then to complete all the formalities.
