Jean-Luc Dompé to Konyaspor? Hamburg winger undergoing medical in Turkey

Wait 5 sec.

Hamburger SV winger Jean-Luc Dompé is undergoing a medical at Turkish Süper Lig side Konyaspor, according to t-online, with the move edging closer to completion after a photo emerged of him arriving in Turkey for talks, ending months of uncertainty over his future in Hamburg.The report, credited to t-online alongside German wire services dpa and sid, says Dompé will join Konyaspor as a free agent on a two-year contract once the medical clears, ending a four-year spell in Hamburg in which he fell entirely out of the club’s plans. HSV’s coaching staff told the 30-year-old during preseason that he “no longer had sporting prospects” with the Bundesliga club and excluded him from the professional squad altogether, despite his contract technically running through summer 2027.Dompé, a French winger, arrived at Hamburg with real expectation four years ago but leaves as a free transfer with the move offering HSV nothing beyond wage relief for the rest of the season. For Konyaspor, picking up a Bundesliga-experienced wide player without paying a fee is exactly the kind of low-cost, low-risk addition mid-table Süper Lig clubs look for late in the window, particularly one who arrives already up to speed with pre-season training elsewhere.For HSV, the priority was clearing a player who had no route back into Merlin Polzin’s squad, freeing his salary rather than recouping any fee. For Konyaspor, adding proven top-flight experience for free, even from a player finding a fresh start after being frozen out elsewhere, is straightforward business at this stage of the window.Status: Medical underway. Dompé has arrived in Turkey and a two-year deal is in place pending its completion, with no transfer fee involved since his HSV contract allowed a free exit.The post Jean-Luc Dompé to Konyaspor?
