Florian Grillitsch did not want to extend his expiring contract with TSG Hoffenheim. The 26-year-old could be drawn to Italy in the summer. Fiorentina is said to have made an offer to the midfielder.
From Hoffenheim to Florence? Florian Grillitsch from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim may switch to AC Florence, as “Transfermarkt” and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano report. According to them, the Italians have offered the midfielder a contract until 2026 while the 26-year-old’s current deal expires this summer. He is therefore available free of charge.
Short, compact, clear
Conscious decision: TSG director Alexander Rosen is resigned to a potential change by Grillitsch. As soon as he said goodbye to the Austrian national player, he emphasized: “Last summer we made a conscious decision to enter into an expiring contractual relationship with him, although there was the possibility of a transfer.”
Previous considerations: Grillitsch had already flirted with a transfer to Italy last year, but at that time to AC Milan and not to Fiorentina. The latter now makes Grillitsch’s commitment dependent on a change from FC Arsenal loan Lucas Torreira. However, the Italians should not wait too long, because RB Leipzig should also express interest in the Hoffenheim player.
