“We have a broad squad. First and foremost, we trust the team that is there.” With these words, Pirmin Schwegler, head of licensed football at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, announced a quiet transfer winter for the Baden Bundesliga club at the beginning of January. After Kevin Vogt’s surprising departure to Union Berlin, there is now movement on the access side.
According to the Italian journalist Alessandro De Felicewho works for various media and also maintains contacts in Czech football, and the Portuguese daily newspaper “A BolaLeft-back David Jurásek from Benfica Lisbon is about to move to the Kraichgauer team. It is said to be a loan with an option to buy; according to Scottish reports, there was competition from Glasgow Rangers, among others.
TSG Hoffenheim’s most expensive purchases
Jurásek left the Czech Fortuna Liga for the first time last summer and joined the Portuguese capital club after a year at Slavia Prague. Benfica paid 14 million euros for the 23-year-old, but he was unable to earn a regular place in the first half of the year. In total there were only twelve missions lasting 478 minutes.
The solution for more playing time, which should also ensure participation in the European Championships in the summer, could now be found via the detour of Hoffenheim. Julian Justvan (25), who can also play on the left flank in the TSG system with only one player per side, is about to go on loan there. With Júrasek the right replacement would be found and at the same time a high-quality option would be available.
