TSG Hoffenheim has announced the signing of Czech forward Adam Hložek from Bayer Leverkusen for a reported fee of €17 million, with an additional €2 million in potential add-ons. The deal also includes a 10% sell-on clause, ensuring Leverkusen a future financial interest in the player’s career.
Hložek, 22, had been a target for several clubs across Europe, with Leicester City notably expressing strong interest in securing his services. However, Hoffenheim’s decisive intervention in the negotiations has secured the talented forward’s future at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena
Hložek joined Bayer Leverkusen in 2022 from Sparta Prague, where he had established himself as one of the brightest young talents in European football. During his time with Leverkusen, Hložek made 32 appearances in the Bundesliga, scoring 8 goals and providing 5 assists. His performances have not only solidified his reputation in Germany but also attracted attention from top clubs in England and other major leagues.
The inclusion of a 10% sell-on clause in the transfer deal indicates Bayer Leverkusen’s confidence in Hložek’s future potential. This clause ensures that Leverkusen will benefit financially if Hoffenheim decides to sell the player in the future, a testament to Hložek’s perceived value.
