Jean-Luc Dompé no longer plays a role at HSV and is supposed to find a new club if possible before the transfer window closes.
However, interest from other clubs has so far been limited. Now the first more concrete rumor has emerged. As the regional newspaper “La Opinión” reported, Dompé is among the candidates at Deportivo A Coruña, which is looking for a winger with a strong right foot who can stretch the play wide and ideally also combine well with full-back Adra Altimira.
Alongside SC Freiburg’s Cyriaque Irié and currently clubless Sofiane Boufal, the Frenchman is said to be one of three possible options. Those in charge are impressed by his one-on-one qualities. In addition, the transfer would fit within the relatively small budget. HSV would likely let the Frenchman, who is still under contract until 06/30/2027, leave for only a small fee.

Around three weeks ago, the former key player was already released to hold talks about his future. “After close consultation with the coaches, we came to the conclusion that Jean-Luc no longer has a prospect in our plans for the coming season,” sporting director Claus Costa explained in the club statement. He would not fit the required profile, which includes, among other things, “high intensity” and “great willingness.”
The decline had already begun last season. Dompé was unable to build on his strong performances from the promotion campaign and, after his drink-driving incident at the start of the year, hardly featured anymore. Coach Merlin Polzin grew increasingly frustrated with the 31-year-old’s lack of professionalism, which he also displayed after his HSV exit by initially skipping individual training.
With Deportivo A Coruña, Spanish champions in 2000 and two-time cup winners, he could find an attractive way out. Dompé would get another chance in a top European league — including alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who, for all his quirks, still stands out as a reliable goalscorer even at the age of 37.
