OGC Nice had reached an agreement with Hambourg for the transfer of Ransford Königsdörffer. However, a medical examination revealed a meniscus injury, leading Nice to cancel the transfer. Hambourg expressed surprise at this decision. The situation was reminiscent of a previous incident with Terem Moffi, where Nice signed the player despite a knee concern, which later resulted in a serious injury.

The transfer of HSV's 23-year-old Ghanaian forward, Ransford Königsdörffer, to Nice is currently uncertain due to issues that were discovered during his medical examination. The main issue is related to problems with his left knee, which were highlighted during the check-up. Although Königsdörffer routinely plays with his left knee taped, he has never missed a match at HSV due to any injury concerning this joint. This development has raised doubts about the completion of the transfer, and there is speculation regarding Königsdörffer potentially returning to Hamburg if the transfer does not proceed. His contract with HSV is valid until June 2026, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €6.00 million.
