Hoffenheim: Ihlas Bebou's possible departure

Togolese striker Ihlas Bebou is reportedly on the verge of leaving Hoffenheim this winter, as his contract expires in June 2026. With just a few months left on his contract, the Togolese international, who has been with the German club since 2019, is being courted by Fortuna Düsseldorf, his former club, who are offering him a chance to revive his career.

Having returned from a long knee injury, Bebou is struggling to regain a starting place at Hoffenheim, having played only 70 minutes since his return.

According to reports, the club does not plan to extend his contract, given his limited league appearances over two seasons. However, the Togolese striker boasts an impressive record with 45 goals and 25 assists in 195 Bundesliga matches.

His experience would be an asset for Fortuna Düsseldorf, who are aiming for promotion to the Bundesliga. A loan move could allow him to regain his form and calmly prepare for the next stage of his career. As a reminder, Panathinaikos expressed interest in the Togolese international a few weeks ago.
