Not so advanced after all? Triple denial over HSV transfers | OneFootball

For a long time, things had been rather quiet around HSV on the transfer market. But in recent days, fans have had all kinds of rumors to speculate about.

First, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Terem Moffi were linked with imminent moves, then reports started circulating about an alleged multi-million offer for Jacques Ekomié. Transfer insider Nicolo Schira caused quite a stir on Monday evening in particular. According to the report, HSV are said to have offered SCO Angers around four million euros plus one million euros in possible bonuses for Ekomié. In addition, a five percent sell-on clause was reportedly part of the offer. According to the Hamburger Abendblatt, however, Hamburg have not made any concrete approach. Bild also reports that the 22-year-old left-back is currently not a hot topic at the Volkspark.

In principle, though, Ekomié would be an interesting candidate for the Hanseatic club. The Gabon international was already linked with HSV in the winter and could become a topic again, especially if Miro Muheim were still to leave the club. At the moment, however, there is no movement regarding the Swiss player.

Bornauw and Moffi: Does HSV still need patience?

More patience is apparently also required with the other two names being discussed than initially thought. Bornauw and Moffi remain among the main candidates, but contrary to earlier reports, neither transfer is close to being completed, according to the Hamburger Abendblatt and Bild. On Sunday, the Abendblatt had still reported good chances for both deals and a possible completion “in the foreseeable future.”

For the sake of completeness: the reports from England currently sound far more optimistic than those from Hamburg. Both The Athletic and the Yorkshire Evening Post report that HSV are confident of getting Bornauw’s signing over the line in the coming days.

The 27-year-old from Leeds United is considered a possible successor to Luka Vuskovic at center-back. Moffi, meanwhile, could intensify the competition up front. HSV still have a significant need to act, especially in those positions.
