Moffi leaves Nice for Hamburg for €2m, two years after €22m transfer
Unwanted at OGC Nice after incidents with supporters last November, Terem Moffi is set to join Hamburg for just €2 million plus €500,000 in bonuses — having cost €22m in 2023.
Terem Moffi is leaving OGC Nice for Hamburger SV in a transfer worth €2 million plus €500,000 in bonuses, according to journalist Fabrice Hawkins. A full agreement has been reached with the German club, and a medical is scheduled for the coming days.
The 27-year-old Nigerian striker, signed for €22 million from FC Lorient in summer 2023, is departing for a tenth of his purchase price. The dramatic depreciation is explained by an untenable personal situation on the Côte d’Azur: on November 30, Moffi was involved in violent incidents with Nice supporters, an episode that led the club to loan him to FC Porto for the second half of the season. He will no longer wear the Eagles’ shirt.
Hamburg, who finished thirteenth in the Bundesliga last season, are offering him a contract running until 2029. For the Hanseatic club, the deal looks like a market coup: Moffi remains a regular goalscorer at this level, and his athletic profile fits HSV’s reconstruction project, as they seek to return to the German elite.
