According to Bild, Hamburger SV has been negotiating a contract extension with William Mikelbrencis and improved its offer once, but this is not enough for the defender. The German publication reports on a potential transfer to Girona, noting that the French portal 'footmercato.net' recently speculated that the Spanish club is interested in Mikelbrencis.

Girona is among several clubs pursuing William Mikelbrencis, a 22-year-old French right-back, who will become a free agent as his contract with Hamburg expires this summer. The German club made a contract extension offer, but the proposal did not meet his expectations. His status as a free agent has attracted concrete interest from a team in the current top six of Ligue 1. In Germany, Schalke 04 and Borussia Mönchengladbach are monitoring his situation, while Parma in Italy is also reportedly interested, with the clubs said to be convinced by his potential. Mikelbrencis, who has been capped 7 times for the France U20 team, joined Hamburger SV from Metz in August 2022 for a reported €700,000. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €3.00m.
