Alongside Königsdörffer: HSV aim to extend contracts with these players! | OneFootball

A total of ten player contracts at HSV will expire at the end of the season. Not all professionals can hope for an extension.

Although nearly three quarters of the 2025/2026 Bundesliga season still remain, personnel planning for the coming year at Hamburger SV is already in full swing. The main focus at the moment is especially on Ransford Königsdörffer, whose contract expires in the summer. At the same time, the club also aims to extend contracts with other professionals and officials.

First, HSV wants to ensure planning security at the management level: The contract with Director of Professional Football Claus Costa is expected to be extended soon. Negotiations are already in a decisive phase. Sporting director Stefan Kuntz recently confirmed that he wants to continue working with Costa. The 41-year-old’s task will be to shape the squad planning for the upcoming season—a task that gains importance in light of ten expiring contracts.

HSV: Not only Königsdörffer is set for an extension!

In addition to several loan players such as Luka Vuskovic, Fabio Vieira, Giorgi Gocholeishvili, Daniel Peretz, and Warmed Omari—whose futures partly depend on purchase options, or in Luka Vuskovic’s case, are in the hands of another club—the personnel planning also affects numerous regulars. The contracts of Daniel Heuer Fernandes, Jonas Meffert, Guilherme Ramos, William Mikelbrencis, and of course Königsdörffer are all expiring.

According to the Hamburger Abendblatt, concrete talks with goalkeeper Heuer Fernandes are planned for the winter break. For Ramos, however, there is no sporting future at the club. The Portuguese defender was already on the transfer list last summer. In Meffert’s case, a potential extension depends heavily on which league HSV will play in. It is unlikely that the veteran will play a long-term role in the squad if the club stays in its current division.

The situation is clearer with Mikelbrencis and Königsdörffer: HSV wants to keep both. While the club will first wait to see how the young right-back develops further, a deal with Königsdörffer is a top priority. After the failed transfer to OGC Nice, HSV has resumed talks with his agent. No agreement has been reached yet, but both sides are very interested. Recent reports claiming that Königsdörffer wants to become one of the club’s top earners if he stays have been denied by the Hamburger Abendblatt. At least, the striker’s camp has not made such a demand so far.
