F. Grillitsch leaving TSG Hoffenheim?

Florian Grillitsch's future at TSG Hoffenheim seems uncertain under the management of coach Christian Ilzer. The magazine 'kicker' has reported that several Bundesliga clubs have shown concrete interest in acquiring the Austrian defensive midfielder, though it did not specify which clubs are involved. Grillitsch rejoined Hoffenheim a year and a half ago, but the new coach's playing system is not compatible with his style, leading to a recommendation for a club change made to him in the autumn. Despite this, the 29-year-old remains under contract with the Kraichgau club until 2026.

Florian Grillitsch is reportedly on the list of potential signings for 1. FC Köln. The club has shown renewed interest in the Hoffenheim player in recent weeks, after previously considering him in summer 2023. Hoffenheim is planning without Grillitsch and is willing to let the Austrian, who is under contract until 2026, leave as early as winter. The 'Geissblog' suggests a loan with a purchase option. Grillitsch could strengthen Köln in defensive midfield or as part of a three-man defense.

Florian Grillitsch has been informed by the new Hoffenheim coach, Christian Ilzer, that his style of play based on ball control does not fit well with the new required style. His status as a regular player is expected to be lost. His contract runs until summer 2026. Hoffenheim would likely not object to a transfer if Grillitsch expresses a desire to move.

Florian Grillitsch, who was formerly a key player for TSG Hoffenheim, is reportedly no longer part of the club's future plans, according to Sky. The Austrian midfielder has been informed of this decision. Despite being under contract until 2026, Grillitsch has the option to join another club during the winter transfer window if an appropriate offer is made. The club's new coach, Christian Ilzner, is said to favor a more vertical style of play, which makes Grillitsch's strategic abilities less appealing.

Florian Grillitsch's future with TSG Hoffenheim beyond the summer remains uncertain. He expressed to 'Transfermarkt.de' that he is considering both the possibilities of staying and leaving the club. Grillitsch indicated that should an interesting club show interest, discussions would occur to comprehend the perspectives of all involved parties. Hoffenheim has the potential to secure an appropriate transfer fee next summer if Grillitsch opts not to extend his contract, which is set to expire in 2026.
