Will he stay after all? HSV to hold talks with Königsdörffer! | OneFootball

In the summer, it looked like a farewell, but Ransford Königsdörffer could still have a future at HSV. The Ghanaian international’s contract expires at the end of the season, which is why the club is aiming to start talks about an extension soon.

This was reported by Bild on Tuesday evening. There had already been intensive negotiations between the player and the club in May and June. Before a decision was made, a transfer to France suddenly came into focus: OGC Nice was ready to pay a hefty six million euros, and the striker even traveled to the Côte d’Azur for a medical check.

But then came the setback: Due to an old knee injury from his youth, the deal fell through at literally the last minute. Königsdörffer returned to Hamburg, where he was welcomed back with open arms.

From a sporting perspective, this turn of events was quite convenient for the Rothosen. After the renewed absence of captain Yussuf Poulsen, Königsdörffer is currently the first choice in the center of attack. He has started four times this season, but is still waiting for his first goal. No wonder: HSV has only scored twice in total so far.

Königsdörffer talks to start soon!

The open question from the summer remains: Will the 24-year-old extend his contract or will he leave HSV on a free transfer in 2026? For the newly promoted club, such a departure would be a painful loss. Königsdörffer is undoubtedly one of the most talented players in the squad and contributed a strong 14 goals to last season’s promotion.

“Good” for HSV: Due to public reports about his knee problems and his current goal drought, the attacking all-rounder is probably not as sought after as he was a few months ago. Of course, a sporting upswing could quickly change that outlook again.

One thing is certain: Talks about a contract extension are set to resume this autumn. According to Bild, this matter is “at the very top of the management’s to-do list.”
