Emotional bond with HSV – promotion hero Elfadli extends his contract! | OneFootball

Daniel Elfadli was one of the defining figures of the promotion season. Now he and HSV are extending their collaboration.

Hamburger SV has extended Daniel Elfadli’s contract ahead of schedule. The news was announced by the Bundesliga returnees this Sunday morning. “From day one, Daniel has integrated himself exemplary into the team and the entire HSV. Combined with his performances and consistency, he has developed into a figurehead of our shared journey. That’s also why we decided early on to keep him with us,” said sporting director Stefan Kuntz.

Elfadli himself also expressed a positive outlook, though no details were given about the length of the new contract: “I immediately felt at home in the team and quickly developed an emotional bond with HSV, which became something truly special through achieving our big goal and the unforgettable moments that came with it.”

The 28-year-old, whose move from defensive midfield to central defense proved to be one of the keys to promotion to the Bundesliga, continued: “For me, this should only be the beginning of wearing the diamond on my chest. Now I definitely want to be part of a new, successful chapter in the Bundesliga and will continue to give everything for it.”

Elfadli himself has no top-flight experience yet. His path led him from SSV Reutlingen, FC Nöttingen, and VfR Aalen to 1. FC Magdeburg. There, the right-footer, valued by sporting director Claus Costa for his “high level of commitment, mentality, and flexibility,” immediately impressed, so much so that HSV wanted to sign him as early as summer 2023. A year later, the transfer was completed, proving to be a golden decision. Both sides want to continue their successful partnership in the Bundesliga in the future.
