These statements are clear and allow only one conclusion: Christian Ilzer certainly to take advantage of the opportunity offered in Hoffenheim to move to the German Bundesliga. And now.

The head coach of Austrian champions and cup winners Sturm Graz commented for the first time on Tuesday about the interest of TSG and its former managing director Andreas Schicker, which the weaver had already reported only. “This constellation with Andi Schicker as sporting director, an interesting team in Hoffenheim and the opportunities there, together with how Sturm is doing at the moment, could give me the scales for the first time ,” Ilzer said A small newspaper Tuesday after training, “there is no right time, but the moment seems good.” You can hardly put yourself more clearly, so Ilzer is also putting pressure on the club to find a quick agreement with Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim want a quick solution

According to kicker information, there is an exit clause in Ilzer’s contract in Graz, which lasts until 2026, but this does not apply at the moment. That is why there is also an option to install an interim solution at TSG and then replace Ilzer in winter or summer for a fixed amount. But Hoffenheim and the 47-year-old seem to want to take this step immediately during the league break.

After all, as the defenders of the championship, Graz is again in a very good position and at the top of the table, but in the Champions League, after four games, the Austrians, who is still pointless, looking at an early exit. And in Hoffenheim, partner Schicker would be happy to have this position in the future after Pellegrino dismissed Matarazzo on Monday be clarified quickly and without intermediate delays in the long term, especially since the position of the board is very urgent and any delay in the desired solution means only a delay send back

Will Yardimci return to TSG in the winter?

This would mean that the successful trio of Graz Schicker, Ilzer and the technical director, Paul Pajduch, who had already been introduced, would be gathered again in Kraichgau. It would not be entirely unreasonable if other people from Graz found their way to TSG. Rumors recently emerged that the striker was signed by Hoffenheim in the summer and immediately loaned to Sturm. Supporter of Erencan they can also continue to the parent club in the winter.

Because Roger Wittmann, who is influential in Hoffenheim, is a young Turkish consultant, to whom TSG transferred four million euros to Eyüpspor this summer, who is influential in Hoffenheim. Anyway, Yardimci got in better form recently and scored in the last two league games for Graz.
