Prass dissatisfied: Gladbach is vying for Hoffenheim's midfield star!

Alexander Prass (24) plays for TSG Hoffenheim in the current Bundesliga season. He has played twelve games so far, but has only started in three. Many of his appearances were limited to limited minutes at the end of games, which led to his dissatisfaction with the current situation. Borussia Mönchengladbach's interest in Prass is not a new topic; The club had already tried to sign him in 2023, but could not prevail against Hoffenheim. Prass has a contract until 2028, meaning a transfer fee would be required if Gladbach were to make a serious commitment again. According to oe24.at, Borussia view the player as a potential newcomer.

Next Saturday, Hoffenheim will face Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga. Coach Christian Ilzer was positive about the current team spirit and the progress in preparation. He expects a hard-fought game against a strong opponent who is in good form. It is important for TSG Hoffenheim to keep their performance high, especially before the turn of the year. Ilzer also plans to spend the holidays in Austria with his family after this game. There will be a friendly match against FC Augsburg after the holidays to prepare the team for training on January 2nd. Players such as Andrej Kramarić have proven important to the team, with Ilzer praising his training performances. It is also important that Max Moerstedt is out against Gladbach due to injury, while Grischa Prömel and Ozan Kabak are also struggling with injuries but are hoping to return. TSG Hoffenheim has continuously tried to strengthen the squad, but will not plan any major personnel changes in the winter, but does want to sign a striker.
