Bayern Munich leading race for Hoffenheim’s Tom Bischof | OneFootball

Sport Bild report that Bayern Munich are leading RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt and VfB Stuttgart in the race to sign Hoffenheim talent Tom Bischof (19).

The German youth international is in the final year of his contract with the Sinsheim club and it’s unlikely that a new contract will be signed, meaning Bischof is free to leave the club at the end of the season, but TSG want a final decision before the end of the year.

Borussia Dortmund are also working on the contract extension of sporting director Sebastian Kehl, which could be finalised before Christmas, and the 44-year-old, who is responsible for transfers at Die Schwarzgelben has also identified Bischof as a target.

Bischof has featured in 10 Bundesliga games for Hoffenheim this season, starting TSG’s last nine successive league games, scoring one and creating one. The central-midfielder is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in German football and, per Transfermarkt, the 19-year-old has a market value of €3.5m.
