Tim Hoffmann leaving Hertha BSC?
Central defender Tim Hoffmann, 21, is leaving Hertha BSC to join SC Verl.

Zlatko Janjic, sporting director of SC Verl, explained that they have been observing Hoffmann for a long time and are enthusiastic about his footballing abilities.

Two third division clubs, SC Verl and newly promoted TSG Hoffenheim II, had expressed concrete interest in Hoffmann in the summer. Hertha BSC retained the homegrown player, as there was a shortage of defenders at the time due to various injuries. Hoffmann now plans to make a move in the winter and favors a permanent departure from the club. Hertha's idea of possibly extending the current contract, which runs until 2026, by another year is not favored by the player.
