According to Kicker, Ozan Kabak's potential transfer to England faces challenges due to his injury. Before his cruciate ligament injury in June 2024, persistent rumors existed about an imminent transfer to England that would have brought Hoffenheim a fee. The injury has disrupted all plans.

There are ongoing negotiations regarding a contract extension for Ozan Kabak at Hoffenheim. According to kicker, a round of negotiations took place in the Kraichgau this week but did not result in a definitive outcome. There are differing views on the inclusion of exit clauses, their amounts, and their timings. Figures of a 20 million euros minimum fee are circulating.

According to 'kicker', clubs from England are monitoring Ozan Kabak's situation. The publication notes that if Kabak were to obtain German citizenship, the associated EU status would increase his appeal to some top clubs from abroad in Europe.

A report from Fabrizio Romano states that Italian clubs are closely monitoring the situation of Hoffenheim's Ozan Kabak, and specifies that the 25-year-old defender's contract with the German club will expire at the end of the season. As of now, Kabak has not made a decision regarding his future.
