TSG Hoffenheim rebuffed over Christoph Baumgartner
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. RB Leipzig have kept their man, and TSG Hoffenheim go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
TSG Hoffenheim bid $13.5M for Max Finkgräfe
The offer went to RB Leipzig this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
An offer of $7.5M for Andrija Maksimović
TSG Hoffenheim have gone to RB Leipzig with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Mainz 05 come back empty-handed

TSG Hoffenheim bid $4.8M for Fabio Chiarodia
The offer went to Borussia Mönchengladbach this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

TSG Hoffenheim go back to the board over Fabio Chiarodia
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $5.1M — a club that wants Fabio Chiarodia enough to be asked twice.

Ozan Kabak in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at TSG Hoffenheim this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad24 Aug 2026
No place for Samu Aghehowa in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation TSG Hoffenheim are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
In brief
