Hamburger SV have reached an agreement with OGC Nice for the transfer of Nigerian striker Terem Moffi. The German club will pay €2 million plus €500,000 in performance-related bonuses for the forward, who is expected in Hamburg shortly to undergo a medical examination.
The deal represents a significant step in the club’s search for attacking reinforcements. Reports indicate that Moffi is scheduled to arrive in the city ahead of medical checks, with the clubs having finalised the arrangement after reaching an agreement in principle earlier in the week.
Contract Details
Moffi is set to sign a three-year contract at the Volksparkstadion should he pass his medical. The base fee of €2 million could rise by an additional €500,000 through various bonuses, representing a substantial investment as the club strengthens its forward options.
Porto Loan Spell
The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Portuguese champions FC Porto, though he struggled to make a significant impact. He scored just two goals in 13 appearances across all competitions, failing to establish himself as a regular starter.
The Nigeria international now looks set to revive his career in Germany following his departure from Nice, where he struggled to secure consistent playing time prior to his loan move.
Alternative Identified
Should the Moffi transfer collapse at the final stage, Hamburger SV have identified Tomas Bobcek of Polish side Lechia Gdansk as an alternative attacking option. The Slovakian forward represents a contingency plan should negotiations encounter unexpected complications.
The prospective arrival of Moffi would provide additional competition in attack, with his physical presence and international experience offering different qualities to the squad. However, his modest goal return in Portugal last season suggests he may face pressure to prove himself at his new club.
