TSG Hoffenheim faces difficult season start after heavy transfer spending
TSG Hoffenheim has struggled at the start of the season, recording two 2-3 defeats in their opening matches, including a home loss against Dortmund. Despite the poor results, expert Niko Beck notes that the team's performances were strong in stretches, particularly during the first hour against Dortmund.
To address the squad, the club has engaged in significant transfer activity under Andreas Schicker. Hoffenheim has invested 66 million euros in new players, including Adam Daghim, Mats Rots, Patrick Wimmer, and Cajetan Lenz. This represents the highest transfer spending in the club's history.
Simultaneously, the club has seen several departures. Grišča Prömel moved to VfB Stuttgart on a free transfer, while players such as Attila Szalai, Kevin Akpoguma, and Dennis Geiger also left the club without transfer fees. Muhammed Damar and Haris Tabaković were also sold.
