He’s back! Will Königsdörffer extend his stay at HSV? | OneFootball

After Ransford Königsdörffer’s failed move to Nice, HSV is looking ahead. Will a contract extension now follow?

Ransford Königsdörffer has returned to Hamburg! And with him comes the big question: Will he now stay at HSV after all? Following the collapsed transfer to OGC Nice, the striker is spending this week at the second training camp in Mallorca with his teammates.

For weeks, Königsdörffer had been negotiating a contract extension with HSV, since his current contract only runs until 2026. But recently, the 23-year-old put the talks on hold and instead pushed for a move to France. According to various media reports, Nice offered six to seven million euros. The newly promoted club had already approved the transfer. However, the deal fell through at the last minute because the attacking player failed the medical check.

Polzin: Königsdörffer is “a true professional”

Now Königsdörffer is back on the training pitch with HSV. And one thing is clear: The sporting management team around Stefan Kuntz and Claus Costa definitely does not want to shelve the topic of a contract extension, according to a Mopo report.

For now, however, the focus is on further new signings. The “Rothosen” are close to finalizing the transfers of Warmed Omari and Giorgi Gocholeishvili. Afterwards, new talks with the Königsdörffer camp are planned.

It remains unclear, however, how the player himself is dealing with the current situation. After the failed transfer, frustration and disappointment are likely to run deep. But coach Merlin Polzin is convinced: “Ransi is a true professional. He’ll be able to handle it.”

In the coming days in Mallorca, Königsdörffer will have the chance to show that he is ready, both athletically and mentally, for his old and at the same time new role at HSV. The upcoming friendly against RCD Mallorca (09.08) will provide him with a concrete opportunity. In any case, the door to an extension is still open.
