Czech international Adam Hložek has officially signed with TSG Hoffenheim until 2028, departing from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee estimated at €17-20 million, including bonuses. Hložek struggled to secure a starting position at Leverkusen, leading to his transfer, which Hoffenheim pursued aggressively after a long-term injury sidelined attacker Ihlas Bebou. Despite initial interest from Premier League side Leicester City, who had negotiated a loan-to-buy deal worth up to €20 million, Hložek opted for Hoffenheim after personal terms could not be agreed. His arrival is expected to bolster Hoffenheim's attacking options, as they seek to improve their squad following a tumultuous summer. Hložek's medical examination in Sinsheim is anticipated to confirm the transfer soon.
