Hamburger SV eye Moffi as attack revamp amid Nice exit

Hamburger SV have identified a clear need to strengthen their forward line as they prepare for the new season, and the club’s scouting reports point to Nigerian striker Terem Moffi as the ideal solution after his recent loan spell in Portugal and his exclusion from OGC Nice’s squad.

The German side’s interest marks a clear signal that Moffi attracts serious Bundesliga scrutiny.

Moffi returned to Nice after spending the second half of last season on loan at Portuguese champions FC Porto, gaining valuable experience in the Primeira Liga and highlighting his adaptability across European leagues.

The 27‑year‑old is widely expected to leave the French club before the close of the transfer window, a prospect reinforced by his recent loan performance.

Nice president Maurice Cohen has confirmed that Moffi is among the players the club is willing to part with as they reshape their squad ahead of the new campaign.

Further fueling speculation, the Super Eagles forward has been excluded from Nice’s first‑team squad, making an exit increasingly likely in the coming weeks.

Hamburger SV are monitoring Moffi’s situation because his experience in French football and proven goalscoring ability make him an attractive target for the Bundesliga side, fitting their plan to bolster attacking options.

Moffi has also attracted interest from Turkish Süper Lig giants Beşiktaş, while his future at Nice appears uncertain; a move away from the Allianz Riviera would give the Nigerian regular first‑team football and allow Nice to reshape its roster.
