The OGC Nice transferred over 20 million euros to Ajax Amsterdam for Kasper Dolberg in 2019. But the striker never really hit the ground running on the Côte d’Azur. Neither in Andalusia, where he has been a loan player at FC Sevilla since the summer. The misunderstanding has since ended. It continues in the Kraichgau.
As officially announced by TSG Hoffenheim, Dolberg will be loaned out from Nice for six months. According to reports, the Bundesliga club was also able to secure a purchase option. The Danish center forward is under contract with the French first division club until 2024. In Seville, the 25-year-old made a manageable eight appearances and was only able to score one goal.
“Components that we don’t yet have in this form in our squad”
Manager Alexander Rosen explains: “Kasper is a center forward who is characterized by his intelligent playing style as well as his excellent ball handling, his dynamism and a certain physicality. He can become a goal threat at any time with clever runs and, in addition to his quality in the end, he has the ability to hold the ball well with his back to the goal.”
At TSG you are “Convinced that he can give our game a component that we don’t yet have in our squad in this form and, given our personal situation in attack, we’re happy that the opportunity has arisen to find such a player for us to win.”
