Hoffenheim has decided not to permanently sign Cole Campbell from Borussia Dortmund. The United States attacker suffered a serious ankle injury just a week after arriving in January. To regain his fitness, he spent time with the second team. According to Kicker, Hoffenheim deemed the fee of seven million euros plus bonuses too high and will not pursue a permanent deal. Campbell remains under contract at Dortmund until 2028. With interest from other clubs, Dortmund is not expected to lower their price for Hoffenheim. The report suggests that the most likely outcome is a permanent departure from Dortmund this summer. Hoffenheim is expected to recruit in attack and could accept a sizeable bid for Bazoumana Touré.
