FSV Mainz 05 are open to the departure of 26-year-old Hyun-seok Hong, and it is unlikely he will remain with the club beyond the summer. Interest in the offensive midfielder comes from Trabzonspor and Kasimpasa in Turkey, as well as from French clubs FC Toulouse and Olympique Lyon. Hong's contract with the German side runs until 2028. The South Korea international, who has 16 caps for his country, spent part of the 2025/2026 season on loan at KAA Gent, where he recorded one goal and one assist in 9 Jupiler Pro League appearances. His current Transfermarkt market value is €2.50m.
