Despite other offers: Dompé explains why he’s staying at HSV | OneFootball

Despite numerous inquiries, Jean-Luc Dompé extended his expiring contract with HSV. The Frenchman feels completely at home in Hamburg.

Jean-Luc Dompé made a very deliberate decision. Although his outstanding performances in the past second division season attracted attention in many places, the French fan favorite remained loyal to HSV. In an interview with the Hamburger Abendblatt, the 30-year-old explained why he still calls Volkspark his home.

“I had other options as well,” Dompé admitted openly. “But why should I leave when I feel so good here?” This sense of satisfaction runs like a common thread through one of the offensive player’s rare interviews.

He has now been wearing the HSV jersey for over three years. He has never stayed at any other club for as long during his entire career. “I am very happy here,” says Dompé. “The fans love me, my teammates like me, and I have the trust of the coaches and the whole club.”

Dompé wants to “continue writing HSV history”

This appreciation seems to be more important to Dompé than financial incentives. “I want to continue writing our story that we started with promotion. That was the biggest success of my career,” emphasizes the winger. Even when the return to the Bundesliga was not yet certain, he believed in the club: “In my mind, I knew we would make it. I have always trusted my team.”

For Dompé, Hamburg has long been more than just a football stop. The family man feels embedded in a community that supports him on and off the pitch. His positive charisma, his laughter, and his sense of humor are therefore part of his identity. “Only with fun and a good feeling can we perform,” he says.
