According to Kicker, for Kevin Akpoguma, whose contract is set to expire in the summer, opportunities in Italy or the USA have apparently not yet materialized.

Kevin Akpoguma stated that he can currently imagine everything, including a move abroad. He said that everything is possible and that a suitable option could arise quickly in the winter transfer window, but mentioned that he will otherwise fulfill his contract obligations. Akpoguma also stated that he does not know if a move will happen in the winter or the summer, as it has to be a suitable match. He added that this is the nature of the business, which is why he must remain aware of any situation.

Kevin Akpoguma will very likely leave TSG Hoffenheim in the winter. At the press conference before the match against Hamburger SV, Coach Christian Ilzer confirmed that there have already been talks between the defender's agents and the sporting director Andreas Schicker to prepare for the 30-year-old's departure. The Nigerian international joined the club in July 2013 and has a contract that runs until June 2026. This season, he has made 2 appearances in the Bundesliga. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.50m.
