GermanyOn September 1, 2026, Ilyas Ansah, a forward who joined Bundesliga club Union Berlin from SC Paderborn in the summer of 2025, has left the team after just one season. He has moved to Hull City, a Premier League team that recently achieved a surprise victory over Manchester United. Both clubs announced the transfer, with Ansah signing a five-year contract. Union Berlin’s manager, Horst Heldt, described the offer as 'very attractive.' Reports suggest Union could receive up to 22 million euros for Ansah, surpassing the previous record sale of Taiwo Awoniyi to Nottingham Forest. This would make Ansah the highest-paid player ever sold by Union Berlin. Ansah scored five goals in 32 league games during his time at the club, though most were early in the season. His departure leaves Union seeking a replacement, especially since he was placed by new coach Mauro Lustrinelli.
