Danish midfielder Jens Stage, 29, is a target for TSG Hoffenheim, where he is considered a leading candidate to replace Grischa Prömel, who is leaving for VfB Stuttgart on a free transfer. While an offer has not yet been made, the probability of a bid would increase if Hoffenheim qualifies for the Champions League, which would provide the necessary budget. Werder Bremen's asking price is expected to be high, as Stage has a contract until 2028 and is highly valued. Clemens Fritz, Werder's Managing Director of Professional Football, told 'Sport Bild' that they are planning for the new season with Stage and described him as a crucial key player on the pitch and in the dressing room. However, Werder's position could be tested by an adequate offer, as the club is also reliant on transfer revenue. The midfielder joined Werder in July 2022, has two caps for Denmark, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €14.00m.
