“Trip to hell”: HSV move for Adeline angers Troyes fans! | OneFootball

There is great excitement at HSV over the signing of Martin Adeline. In his native France, however, the transfer is causing one thing above all: anger.

The 22-year-old is moving from Ligue 1 newcomers ES Troyes AC to the Volkspark. According to consistent reports, Hamburg will pay around four million euros, including possible bonuses, for the attacking midfielder. Given Adeline’s strong development, the deal is considered a real coup.

Last season, the Frenchman contributed ten goals and eleven assists, making him one of the key heroes behind Troyes’ promotion. His market value rose within a year from €700,000 to around €10 million. It is therefore no surprise that supporters of the traditional French club are struggling to come to terms with the departure of their fan favorite. The reported transfer fee in particular is causing fierce reactions on social media.

HSV’s new signing was very popular in France

“Go to hell, all of you,” one fan wrote on X under the official transfer announcement. Another added: “Four million when he’s worth ten million.” Comments such as “At that price, it’s a joke” also spread quickly. However, the criticism is by no means directed at Adeline himself. On the contrary, many supporters bid farewell to their top scorer with warm words. “Thank you for everything, Martin — a role model on and off the pitch,” one user wrote. Another said: “We will miss this player’s fighting spirit — thank you for everything, Martin.”

Instead, the frustration is mainly being directed at the club’s management. One particularly emotional comment read: “But no thanks to the club. The way it treats its fans is disgraceful. It is destroying this bubble of happiness that we had longed for so desperately after years of suffering.”

Since Troyes only returned to Ligue 1 a few weeks ago with Adeline as a key figure, the supporters’ outrage is вполне understandable. At HSV, meanwhile, the protests in France are likely to be seen as a sign that the club has signed a highly valued footballer on extremely attractive terms.
