According to information from Ivoirezine.com, Hoffenheim have positioned themselves and have already begun talks with Malick Yalcouyé’s entourage. The German club are moving discreetly with the aim of convincing the young Ivory Coast international to join them as early as this summer. Yalcouyé would be receptive to a transfer to Hoffenheim, where he could continue his development in one of Europe’s major leagues. Under contract with Brighton until June 30, 2029, Malick Yalcouyé is currently valued at around €12 million. Negotiations could intensify in the coming weeks, with Hoffenheim appearing to be the favorites to sign him.

TSG Hoffenheim is looking to bring Malick Yalcouye on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion. The player, who was initially transferred from IFK Göteborg to Brighton for seven million euros, was subsequently loaned to Sturm Graz. Hoffenheim has been in contact with his representatives and is in the process of preparing a loan offer. However, Brighton's coach, Fabian Hürzeler, has yet to make a decision regarding Yalcouye's potential need for further experience at another club for an additional season. Yalcouye remains under contract with Brighton until 2029. Should Hoffenheim succeed in securing Yalcouye for a season, he would join several Hoffenheim players and staff with ties to Graz, including coach Christian Ilzer and sporting director Andreas Schicker.
