Meffert before returning to Holstein Kiel: HSV farewell in winter?
Jonas Meffert, the 31-year-old Hamburger SV midfielder, may be facing a move back to Holstein Kiel. How t-online.de reports, Holstein Kiel is very interested in signing the experienced player. Meffert, who played for Kiel from 2018 to 2021 and played 96 competitive games in these three years, could leave HSV in the winter, where his role has recently decreased significantly. This season he only made four appearances and played a total of 144 minutes.
Meffert was an important pillar in Hamburg's defensive midfield for years and was even appointed deputy captain before the start of the season. But since HSV's rise, its situation has changed dramatically. It is currently uncertain whether HSV is interested in letting him go, especially since his contract expires next summer and he could then move on a free transfer. His agent has already contacted HSV to talk about a potential winter move and Meffert seems open to a comeback in Kiel, like transfermarkt.de reported.
Signs of change
The signs suggest that a transfer is certainly possible. Meffert's market value was recently reduced to 800,000 euros, which could also influence the financial conditions for a change. However, it is considered unlikely that HSV is actively interested in saying goodbye to Meffert, which could complicate the negotiations.
His former club, Holstein Kiel, which was promoted to the Bundesliga in 2024, could benefit from Meffert's return. During his first engagement with Kiel, he showed his skills and scored five goals in 96 competitive games. A return could be beneficial for both sides, especially given Meffert's insignificance in Hamburg.
A look at the transfer landscape
The winter transfer window is just around the corner and clubs around the world are using this time to strengthen their squads. How statista.com As explained, there are widely varying transfer fees, with only a few clubs being able to spend three-digit millions on transfers. For Meffert it could be a crucial phase in his career in which he chooses his next sporting challenge.
In Hamburg, the HSV women are also waiting for better times after losing the northern duel against VfL Wolfsburg 1:3 last Sunday. While Meffert is thinking about his professional future, the club management remains challenged to improve the sporting balance.
