Hull City have offered €22 million, including bonuses, for 21-year-old Union Berlin striker Ilyas Ansah. The offer, reported by Florian Plettenberg, comes after earlier bids were rejected and the clubs are now in the final stages of negotiation.
Hull City’s €22m Bid
The Premier League newcomers have placed a €22m proposal on Union Berlin’s table. The fee includes performance bonuses and reflects Hull City’s ambition to strengthen their attack after promotion.
Negotiation Progress
Negotiations have been ongoing for days, with Hull City already having seen previous offers turned away. The latest package is now on Union Berlin’s decision-making table, signalling a decisive phase in the talks.
Player Readiness
Ilyas Ansah, 21, is understood to be open to the move. He is ready to travel to England quickly if the clubs complete the final steps, according to Plettenberg’s update.
Long-Term Contract Talks
Club-to-club discussions are advanced, and Hull City are also in advanced talks with Ansah over a long-term contract. The structure of the deal is clear, though final agreement is still required.
Hull’s Perspective
For Hull City, a €22m signing would underline both ambition and confidence after promotion. The club aims to add a young forward with development upside and immediate first-team potential.
Union Berlin’s Decision
The transfer hinges on Union Berlin. Until the Bundesliga side gives the green light, caution remains sensible, but the negotiation shows genuine momentum behind it.
Union Berlin still needs to give the green light for the deal to be completed.
