Suddenly, it’s moving fast! Moffi expected for HSV medical | OneFootball

Sometimes things move incredibly fast in the transfer market. Just a few hours ago, there was still a question mark over Terem Moffi’s move to HSV.

But now, on Friday afternoon, everything points to the deal being completed very soon. The Nigerian striker is expected in Hamburg as early as this evening and is set to undergo his medical on Saturday morning. According to information from RMC Sport, HSV and OGC Nice have now reached a full agreement on the transfer.

HSV will reportedly pay an initial fee of two million euros for the 27-year-old. A further €500,000 could be added in potential bonus payments. Moffi is set to sign a three-year contract at the Volkspark. Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg confirmed these terms.

This means that a transfer saga that had recently still involved plenty of uncertainty could be wrapped up within a very short time. As recently as early Friday afternoon, reports had suggested that not every detail between HSV, Nice, and the player had been resolved. As a result, an alternative had already come back into focus: According to Bild, Tomas Bobcek was considered a strong candidate if the Moffi deal were to collapse.

HSV: Bobcek rumors likely put to rest

The 24-year-old Slovak had drawn attention last season with 20 goals in 30 league matches for Lechia Gdańsk, earning the top scorer award in the Polish Ekstraklasa. Bobcek had already been on HSV’s radar a few weeks ago before the trail went cold for a while.

Now, however, there is a lot to suggest that the Hamburg club will in fact land their preferred option. With his combination of physicality, pace, and presence in the box, Moffi fits exactly the profile that coach Merlin Polzin has so far been missing at the center-forward position. The impending transfer could now close that gap. The prerequisite, however, is that the medical goes smoothly. If that happens, the Bobcek rumors will likely be put to rest for good.
