Zuzenhausen (AP) – The Norwegian defender Havard Nordtveit is leaving TSG 1899 Hoffenheim after five years at the end of the season. This was announced by the Bundesliga soccer team.
The 31-year-old’s contract expires on June 30, 2022. Nordtveit had already indicated that he wanted to return to his homeland. The 52-time national player and former Gladbach player has often struggled with injuries and was only a backup player.
After several contract extensions, including that of top striker Andrej Kramaric, TSG only has a few expiring contracts: This primarily affects Austrian Florian Grillitsch, who was on his way to Italy last summer.
In addition, the future of Ermin Bicakcic is unclear: the central defender wants to return this season after a long injury break due to a cruciate ligament rupture. The contract of Bayern loan Chris also ends in the summer.
