Medical issues halt move: will Königsdörffer stay at HSV after all? | OneFootball

Ransford Königsdörffer's transfer to OGC Nice has hit a snag. Apparently, discrepancies arose during the medical check.

The signs had actually pointed to a departure! But suddenly, Ransford Königsdörffer's move to OGC Nice could still fail. According to the usually well-informed French newspaper Nice Matin, the HSV striker's medical check on Sunday did not go smoothly. A final decision on a transfer is still pending, which could bring a stay in Hamburg is at least back in reach.

The deal was considered almost perfect: Königsdörffer had already agreed with the Ligue 1 club, and HSV was reportedly set to receive between six and seven million euros. The signature seemed like a mere formality. But during the mandatory medical check, discrepancies arose. What specific health concerns exist was not disclosed. However, it is clear: the transfer is shaky!

Königsdörffer deal on the brink!

Currently, Königsdörffer is undergoing further examinations. Only after that will the decision-makers in Nice decide whether to finalize the transfer. The skepticism on the part of the southern French is understandable: in 2023, OGC had signed Nigerian Terem Moffi despite known knee problems. He suffered a cruciate ligament rupture shortly after. A similar misinvestment is to be avoided at all costs.

A failed deal also carries risks for HSV. The coach and club had already planned for Königsdörffer's departure and the further squad planning largely depends on the expected income.

Nothing has been decided yet. It is possible that the 23-year-old will join Nice despite all the difficulties. Nevertheless, it is essential to keep a close eye on the current situation.
