Jonas Meffert, a 31-year-old German defensive midfielder, is considering a return to his former club Holstein Kiel this winter, a matter first reported by Fussballeuropa.com. Meffert moved to HSV from Holstein Kiel in 2021 for a €500,000 fee. According to BILD, the player's agency has contacted HSV officials to inquire if the club would be open to a transfer. Meffert's potential departure follows his limited playing time, having made 4 appearances in the Bundesliga this season and becoming a substitute player since the club's promotion. It is believed that if Meffert personally approaches Sports Director Stefan Kuntz and Sports Director Claus Costa, the club will likely not refuse the request. This is partly because his contract expires in the summer of 2026, with an extension appearing unlikely. It is also due to his significant contributions to HSV, which would make it difficult for the club to deny him a move if he can secure a long-term contract at Kiel. Meffert has 7 caps for Germany's U19 team, and his current market value is €800k, according to Transfermarkt.
