Hamburger SV has emerged as the most concrete option for Lucas Noubi. Talks have taken place in Germany with Noubi's entourage. The German second division club, Paderborn, was initially considered a strong contender but recently withdrew from the race, leaving Hamburger SV as the frontrunner. Noubi prefers a summer transfer, but Hamburg would need to reach an agreement with Standard Liège this month, as Noubi is free to sign anywhere in the summer.
