After season's end, HSV star gets second contract offer | OneFootball

At HSV, planning for the coming season is in full swing. However, it is still unclear which league the club will be playing in going forward.

This uncertainty is currently making many contract talks more difficult. Despite months of negotiations, no agreement has yet been reached with Ransford Königsdörffer and Daniel Heuer Fernandes. Nevertheless, HSV have now made a move for another professional. As Bild reports, William Mikelbrencis has received an offer to extend his contract.

The Frenchman’s current deal expires on June 30. He is now expected to be convinced with an improved offer after an initial proposal was rejected. Those in charge want to keep the right-back and still see great potential for development in him.

Mikelbrencis moved from FC Metz to Hamburg in August 2022. HSV paid around €700,000 at the time. Since then, he has made 67 competitive appearances and provided six assists. He has yet to score his first goal.

HSV have a limit when it comes to Mikelbrencis

In the current Bundesliga season, Mikelbrencis has made 25 appearances, 15 of them as a starter. His performances have fluctuated quite noticeably at times. Strong displays and impressive attacking numbers (four assists in the second half of the season) have been offset by weak performances such as last weekend against TSG Hoffenheim (1–2), when the 22-year-old did not look good on either goal conceded.

His future was already a topic in the winter. At the time, the player’s camp is said to have inquired about his sporting prospects. In the previous weeks, Mikelbrencis had not played a major role and had been behind Bakery Jatta and Giorgi Gocholeishvili in the pecking order. A transfer was not an option for HSV, however. Now the next attempt at a shared future is underway. The Rothosen want to extend his contract — but according to Bild, “not at any price.”
