Is he off now? HSV star changes agent | OneFootball

There is currently quite a bit of movement at HSV in the center-back position. While Sebastiaan Bornauw is being discussed as a new signing, Daniel Elfadli could leave the club.

The promotion hero from the summer of 2025 has now even changed his agent. Until now, Elfadli was represented by “Haspel Sportconsulting” around Ingo Haspel. The 29-year-old has now joined the agency “CAA Stellar,” which is represented, among others, by Schafiq Said and Thies Bliemeister. Said made the new addition public on Tuesday evening and welcomed the HSV professional with the words “Welcome to the family” along with the note “Signed” on Instagram.

The new agency is one of the largest player management firms in the world and represents numerous international top players. The move to a new team of agents could indicate that Elfadli is reassessing his sporting future. A departure from HSV this summer cannot at least be ruled out.

Just a few weeks ago, however, the situation had looked different. Elfadli wanted to use preseason to put himself back in contention after a mixed promotion campaign. Not least for this reason, the defensive all-rounder, who is highly regarded by the coaching staff and his teammates, had ruled out a quick move.

HSV would be open to an Elfadli transfer

But his outlook has not improved recently. In the friendlies against Rapid Vienna (2:3), 1. FC Heidenheim (3:1), and Everton FC (1:2), Elfadli was given only limited playing time. Against Vienna and Heidenheim, youth player Jason Bissi-Mouelle was even preferred. In addition, HSV are still working on signing a new defensive leader. As recently as Tuesday, the Hamburger Abendblatt reported interest in Sebastiaan Bornauw of Leeds United.

Despite the complicated situation, Elfadli continues to act professionally and is fully involved in training. There are still no concrete signs of an imminent departure. However, if his role does not change before the start of the season, as currently expected, the topic of a transfer could pick up speed again.

According to information from Mopo, HSV would probably not stand in the way of their promotion hero. However, the club is hoping for a suitable transfer fee. Elfadli’s contract runs until 2028, and his market value is estimated at around three million euros.
