Leaving at the very end of the 2022 summer transfer window in Seville to give a boost to his career, Kasper Dolberg never lived up to expectations in Andalusia.
Then coach of the Spanish club, Jorge Sampaoli quickly confined him to the bench of substitutes, pushing the Dane towards the exit following a little more than 300 minutes of play and… zero goals.
After Sevilla, Dolberg tried his luck at Hoffenheim, in the fight to stay in the Bundesliga. If the German club have kept their place in the top flight, it is not due to the exploits of the striker, who scored just one goal in a 3-1 defeat at Cologne in April, more another achievement in the Cup.
Under contract for another year
It is therefore an understatement to say that his 2022-2023 season is a real shipwreck. It follows ghostly performances with the Nice jersey during the return phase under the orders of Christophe Galtier with, as a highlight, this Coupe de France final crossed like a shadow, once morest Nantes.
Who can bet on Dolberg today? At the start of the transfer window, the interested clubs still exist.
At the end of Euro 2021, during which he had been able to regain his talents as a finisher, the Nice leaders had closed the door and rejected offers of around thirty million euros for a boy bought 20M in August 2019 at Ajax Amsterdam .
The beginnings with Galtier, in 4-4-2, had revived hope. It didn’t last.
In three years on the Côte d’Azur, the former Ajax player scored 24 goals, some of which will be remembered like his double once morest Monaco in March 2020, just before the interruption of the championships due to the crisis. sanitary.
In this month of June, the first approaches are very real for a boy with a certain talent in a register of finisher.
Clubs (Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven) remain on the lookout but they have no intention of paying a high price one year from the end of his contract. The club does not want to sell it off and will not accept the first offers, at a discount, from abroad.
The Dane, who never really felt well at Nice, hopes to leave the club this summer but he won’t be spoiled for choice. On the Transfermarkt site, his market value is nine million euros, an amount that seems far from the reality of the market and, above all, from the player’s last service record.
