Explosive rumour: Two Bundesliga clubs keen on HSV star! | OneFootball

Could a departure be on the cards? HSV right-back William Mikelbrencis is reportedly on the radar of no fewer than two Bundesliga clubs.

The 22-year-old was still considered a possible transfer candidate in the winter after only being used irregularly at first under coach Merlin Polzin. But the Frenchman fought his way back and was in the starting XI for large parts of the second half of the season. He also provided four assists. HSV reacted by offering Mikelbrencis an extension to his expiring contract.

So far, however, no agreement is in sight. In particular, the youngster’s salary demands reportedly have not yet been met. As a result, HSV now faces the prospect of losing him on a free transfer this summer.

Gladbach and Schalke want HSV star!

What makes it particularly explosive: according to information from Foot Mercato, two German clubs are seriously looking into Mikelbrencis. Both Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bundesliga returnees FC Schalke 04 are said to be monitoring the situation closely. Both clubs are looking for long-term reinforcements at right-back. With his age and development potential, Mikelbrencis fits the profile perfectly.

But there is also strong interest from abroad. FC Girona, Parma, and an as-yet unnamed top club from France are also said to be among the interested parties. HSV therefore risks losing its wing-back. The Rothosen signed Mikelbrencis from FC Metz in 2022. Since then, he has made 67 competitive appearances and was, among other things, part of the team that won promotion to the Bundesliga last year.
