The 20-year-old defender Tim Drexler is close to moving to Red Bull Salzburg. A German talent, he has been on loan at 1. FC Nürnberg from TSG Hoffenheim, where he was a regular starter and made 13 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga this season. It is reported that Drexler, who can play as a right-back or in central defence, is expected to sign a long-term contract in Salzburg. Drexler has a contract with his parent club TSG Hoffenheim until 2028, and sporting director Andreas Schicker is now expected to sell him.
