Königsdörffer on supposed injury: "Maybe they got it wrong" | OneFootball

Ransford Königsdörffer is finally back at HSV. Due to health concerns, his impending transfer to Nice fell through.

After his failed transfer to OGC Nice, Ransford Königsdörffer spoke publicly for the first time. At the training camp in Mallorca, the striker openly discussed his disappointment.

HSV had already agreed on a transfer fee of around six million euros with the French first division club. The deal seemed almost certain, but after the medical check, an unexpected turnaround occurred: Nice called off the transfer due to concerns about old knee injuries!

Königsdörffer himself remains surprised by this even several days later. "I wanted to seize the opportunity to play football abroad. I couldn't come to an agreement with OGC," he noted. "I don't know what they found. Maybe they made a mistake."

Will Königsdörffer now extend his contract with HSV?

Despite the ultimately canceled transfer, the 23-year-old feels a sense of pride. He hadn't thought "that a top European club would be interested in me," explained Königsdörffer, who now wants to close the Nice chapter: "I have to accept their opinion."

The focus of the offensive all-rounder is now fully back on the Red Shorts, for whom he scored 14 goals and provided 3 assists last season to help them get promoted. "I'm here at HSV, and I'll give it my all," promises Königsdörffer, adding a statement that should encourage all Hanseatic fans: "I'm still open to extending my contract here."

Negotiations for a contract extension have been ongoing for several months, although, according to Bild information, there are still issues, particularly regarding salary. Therefore, the goal scorer does not categorically rule out a departure: "You never know what will happen in football."

Meanwhile, the Ghanaian international was jokingly welcomed back by his teammates as if he were a new signing. He even received a few playful slaps on the neck. "I wasn't afraid to come back," Königsdörffer said with a grin.
