TSG Hoffenheim has shown interest in acquiring Sebastiaan Bornauw. Although the 26-year-old Belgian is not currently in top form, he brings considerable Bundesliga experience to the table, having spent four years with Wolfsburg and two with Köln. He is recognized as a strong defender but is known to have a quieter demeanor. With only a year remaining on his contract at VfL Wolfsburg, he is viewed as an affordable option, with a transfer fee expected to be in the lower single-digit million range. Hoffenheim urgently needs to bolster its defense after enduring one of their most challenging seasons, having conceded 68 goals, underscoring their persistent defensive issues. Bornauw, who started the season as vice-captain, has since lost this position at Wolfsburg but remains in search of a new challenge. He is also contemplating a potential move to the Premier League, where the transfer fee would be relatively minor for English clubs. This situation places Hoffenheim in a difficult spot should a Premier League club decide to pursue him.
