Terem Moffi is expected to arrive in Hamburg on Friday evening after OGC Nice and the German club reached a final agreement over the Nigeria striker’s transfer.
The deal is set to earn OGC Nice an initial €2m, with a further €500,000 potentially payable in bonuses depending on the conditions included in the agreement. Moffi is expected to sign a three-year contract with Hamburg, according to RMC Sport.
The 26-year-old’s move will be subject to a medical examination, which has been scheduled for Saturday morning. Provided there are no complications, Hamburg could confirm his arrival shortly afterwards.
Moffi remains under contract with OGC Nice until 30 June 2027. Despite that remaining commitment, the two clubs have agreed terms for his departure, bringing his time with the French club to an end.
His current market value is estimated at €8m by Transfermarkt, a figure that is higher than the guaranteed fee Nice are due to receive from the transfer. The final value of the deal could increase to €2.5m if the agreed performance-related bonuses are activated.
Moffi will now look to revive his career in Hamburg and establish himself as an important part of a new project. His move comes as he seeks a more prominent role with his next team. The Nigerian currently earns an annual salary of €900,000, equivalent to 585,000,000 CFA francs.
The transfer is expected to be completed before OGC Nice begin their French championship campaign. Nice are scheduled to face Lorient in their opening match of the season.
The source article also includes betting information for that fixture. The bookmaker 1xBet lists Nice as 2.15 to win, with a draw priced at 3.45 and a Lorient victory at 3.20. It also contains a promotional reference inviting readers to download 1xBet.
For now, Moffi’s immediate schedule is centred on his journey to Germany and the medical assessment that will precede the formal announcement. If he passes that examination, his switch from OGC Nice to Hamburg should be officially confirmed soon.
The agreement marks a significant change for the striker, who is preparing to leave Nice while still having two years remaining on his existing contract. Hamburg have agreed to pay an initial €2m for his services, with the possibility of adding another €500,000 through bonuses. Moffi is then expected to begin a three-season spell with his new club.
