Talks ongoing: What Königsdörffer wants for a new HSV deal | OneFootball

Just last summer, Ransford Königsdörffer was on the verge of leaving HSV. As of now, the forward will be a free agent next year. However, discussions are ongoing.

Behind the scenes at Hamburger SV, a lot is happening: While coach Merlin Polzin prepares his team for the home game against VfL Wolfsburg (October 25, 3:30 PM), negotiations for a contract extension with Ransford Königsdörffer are taking place. Despite mixed individual performances, the 24-year-old remains a key player under coach Merlin Polzin. The striker continues to be central to the plans of sporting director Stefan Kuntz and sports director Claus Costa.

Königsdörffer has started in all league matches so far but has yet to record any points. He only scored in the DFB-Pokal against FK Pirmasens (2:1 after extra time). Nevertheless, his value within the team is high. Polzin particularly appreciates his speed and the runs he makes to create space for teammates.

Königsdörffer sets demands for HSV

According to Sport Bild, talks are currently underway between HSV and the agency representing the Ghanaian international. Königsdörffer has indicated that he is generally open to an extension. However, there is one clear condition: the forward wants to be among the top earners at the club. This demand makes the negotiations complex, especially since HSV wants to monitor the player's sporting development before making a decision with long-term implications.

Last summer, Königsdörffer was close to a move to OGC Nice, which fell through after a failed medical check. Now, a future together in Hamburg seems possible again, provided Königsdörffer returns to his former form.

For HSV, it's performance first, then the signature. For Königsdörffer, it's clear that he would only stay if he receives better terms. The outcome of the discussions is therefore completely open.
