HSV: Dompé exit gathers pace | OneFootball

Jean-Luc Dompé has had a complicated year at HSV and appears to be looking for a change of scenery.

According to information from Bild, various agents are currently offering him on the transfer market. The reason is that Dompé, unhappy with his role as a substitute, would like to leave Hamburg. Yet only 14 months ago, he extended his contract, which was due to expire at the time, until 2027. When the extension was announced shortly before kickoff in the home game against Karlsruhe, loud cheers erupted at the Volksparkstadion. After all, the winger had been one of the key figures in the promotion-winning team.

He was also expected to be a key player in the season that has just ended. But Dompé struggled for a variety of reasons. At first, it was minor injuries as well as the much higher level of play. Then the Frenchman landed himself in trouble when, the evening after the city derby at FC St. Pauli (0:0), he was pulled out of his car by police with a blood alcohol level of around 0.14 percent. To make matters worse, after his identity was established, he continued his journey home on an e-scooter.

HSV would let Dompé go

With a short delay, HSV suspended the supposedly matured 30-year-old and handed him a six-figure fine. After his return, he made the starting lineup only once and was not used at all in the final seven games of the season. “Jean-Luc has not fully recovered from the niggles he had during the season and did not feel he was at 100 percent to help the team,” coach Polzin said pointedly.

Nur die Raute – by HSV fans for HSV fans

At the moment, there is a lot to suggest that Dompé will not play another competitive match at the Volkspark. HSV reportedly would not stand in his way if a suitable offer came in, but are said to be seeking a fee of more than one million euros. Potential buyers are not yet known, but they should be found. After all, Dompé, who scored three times, also showed glimpses of his quality in the Bundesliga, even though before arriving in August 2022 he had never stayed anywhere longer than two years.
