According to Hamburger Abendblatt, William Mikelbrencis has so far rejected all offers to extend his contract with Hamburger SV. His contract expires at the end of June, and he will be available on a free transfer. FT reported that FC Schalke 04 from the Bundesliga is interested in Mikelbrencis.

Hamburger SV has been negotiating a contract extension with William Mikelbrencis and has improved its offer once. This offer is apparently not sufficient for the defender.

Schalke 04 is monitoring French right-back William Mikelbrencis. The 22-year-old's contract with Hambourg is expiring, making him a free agent this summer. Hambourg presented a contract extension offer, but the proposal did not meet the player's expectations. According to reports, Mikelbrencis's status has also attracted interest from Borussia Mönchengladbach, a team from the current Top 6 of Ligue 1, Gérone in Spain, and Parme in Italy. The player has 7 caps for the France U20 team. His current Transfermarkt market value is €3.00m, and his move from Metz to Hamburger SV in August 2022 cost a reported €700,000.
