Meffert to return to Kiel? Here’s the latest on the HSV star | OneFootball

The sporting situation of Jonas Meffert at HSV is currently anything but satisfactory. Speculation about his future is increasing.

In the recent 1:1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, the 31-year-old once again spent the entire match on the bench. It was already the ninth time in 15 Bundesliga games that the defensive midfielder was merely a spectator. Twice, he didn’t even make the squad.

Just a week earlier, Meffert had been in the starting eleven against TSG Hoffenheim (1:4). But after serving a yellow card suspension, Nicolai Remberg returned to the number six position against Frankfurt. The pattern is clear: when all players are available to HSV, Meffert has had only minimal chances for playing time since promotion. In sporting terms, he is currently at best the second choice.

Nevertheless, the vice-captain enjoys a high level of respect internally. In the locker room, Meffert is still regarded as an important leader, and his professional and exemplary behavior is appreciated within the club. But is this role enough for the veteran?

Jonas Meffert: HSV contract expires in the summer

Over the weekend, fussballeuropa.com reported on a possible winter return to Holstein Kiel. The second division club reportedly wants to strengthen its defensive midfield, and initial talks have already taken place. According to the Hamburger Abendblatt, however, Meffert plans to finish the season with HSV. At present, there is no concrete desire to transfer, and such rumors are therefore being viewed cautiously internally.

At the same time, it is also clear that dynamics in football can change quickly. Meffert’s contract in Hamburg expires in the summer, and his future beyond this season is completely open. HSV is generally considered open to talks and could collect a small transfer fee for the last time in winter.

As things stand, however, the tendency is: Meffert will stay at HSV, subordinate himself, and wants to do his part to help the club stay in the league.
