Kicker reports that Umut Tohumcu's future is likely to be decided between Kiel or Galatasaray. Galatasaray is another candidate and is also interested in loaning the player. A second Turkish club is also showing interest.

According to kicker, Galatasaray is among the candidates for Umut Tohumcu. The player no longer has a sporting role at TSG Hoffenheim and is expected to move in the winter.

According to Fanatik, Umut Tohumcu has responded positively to interest from Galatasaray. It is reported that the transfer will be a loan. Tohumcu has played 134 minutes in five matches for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga this season.

As part of a strategy to add young players to its squad, Galatasaray is targeting Hoffenheim's Umut Tohumcu. Tohumcu is a 21-year-old midfielder, described as promising, who holds both German and Turkish nationality. Galatasaray is preparing a loan offer for the player that includes a 6 million Euro purchase option. The midfielder has represented Germany at youth levels. The potential move coincides with Galatasaray's plans for other players to leave the club. If Tohumcu signs, he would be able to switch to Turkish player status. He joined Hoffenheim in January 2023 and is contracted until June 2028. Tohumcu has made five Bundesliga appearances this season. His current market value is listed at €5.00m by Transfermarkt. Fenerbahçe has also been linked with the player.
