Hofmann disappointed: dissatisfaction with Bayer Leverkusen!

Leverkusen, Deutschland - In the Bundesliga, Jonas Hofmann's dissatisfaction with Bayer 04 Leverkusen causes a stir. The 23-fold DFB player, who played a key role in the 2023/24 double season, was only on the pitch in the current season in nine out of 31 possible Bundesliga games. Especially standing out that Hofmann was only twice in the starting eleven, most recently on the tenth matchday in November 2024. This reduced season has a great influence, this season he only achieved four scorer points with 575 minutes, compared to 2,800 minutes and 20 goal participations in the previous season. According to [LAOLA1] (https://www.laola1.at/de/fussball/international/deutschland/bundesliga/news/bayer-star-kritisiert-xabi-alonso—-finde-es-schwenn ---/), Hofmann feels uncomfortable in his current reservist role and could consider leaving the club in summer.

The relationship with coach Xabi Alonso could be crucial for Hofmann's future. The player criticizes the lack of communication by the trainer and criticizes that the reasons for his current role have not been adequately explained to him. "Find it very difficult if you are left out", quoted Transfermarkt. This has to report that Hofmann may be looking for a club if the situation does not change.

market value and future

The market value of Hofmann has also developed negatively and fell from 13 million euros to 3 million euros. This reflects the concern about its season and could deter potential prospective customers. His contract runs until 2027, and a transfer would be expected in the single -digit million range. Bayer boss Simon Rolfes made it clear that a decision about Alonso's future must be made until the end of the season, which promotes uncertainty in the team, as the teammate Robert Andrich (30) recognizes.

Andrich indicated that he also consider the possibility of a change in order to increase his chances of participating in World Cup in 2026. There is currently a tense situation in the Bundesliga, especially with regard to the coaching question at Real Madrid, where there may be a decision on Carlo Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso, such as [bundesliga.com] (https://www.eliga.com/de/bundesliga/news/offizier-transfermarkt-all--wechsel--wechsel---wanders- ubersferschaft--11850) reported. It is speculated that Real Madrid could clarify before the Clásico on May 11th.

transfer period ends

Currently Bayer 04 Leverkusen is under pressure to position itself in the last phase of the transfer period. The Bundesliga teams have time to strengthen their squads until tonight until the Deadline Day. Leverkusen has already committed Mario Hermoso and Emiliano Buendía to strengthen the team. The squad planning becomes all the more critical because both players and Hofmann and the coach Alonso are still in focus.
