Hoffenheim news

Serge Gnabry’s resurgence at Bayern Munich has convinced the club to change their stance on his future, with talks of a contract extension now on the table. Sporting director Christoph Freund admitted the winger was “a candidate for sale a few weeks ago” but hailed his revival after a string of standout displays under Vincent Kompany.

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany faces a delicate decision over Manuel Neuer’s starting spot, with promises made to young goalkeeper Jonas Urbig still unfulfilled. Neuer remains first-choice at 39 and continues to impress, but Bayern pledged the 22-year-old German around 10 appearances this season. With Hoffenheim up next, Kompany must balance loyalty, succession planning and results.

Harry Kane is on a remarkable run at Bayern Munich as he netted his second hat-trick of the season against Hoffenheim. His consistency, sharpness in front of goal and ability to perform in crucial moments have made him the focal point of Bayern’s attack, earning admiration from team-mate Serge Gnabry, who calls him “truly amazing” and insists that for Kane, “the sky’s the limit.”

Germany's current No. 1, Oliver Baumann, has dismissed speculation over a sensational Manuel Neuer return as "unhelpful" to the team. With Marc-Andre ter Stegen injured, Baumann has stepped in but insists he will support the Barcelona star upon his return, while Neuer's incredible club form sparks contract talks and fuels the international debate.

Bayern Munich legend Manuel Neuer has been hailed as one of the world's top three goalkeepers by his national team successor, Oliver Baumann. The Hoffenheim star, who is currently Germany's No.1, dismissed talk of a national team return for Neuer but praised the 39-year-old's enduring 'world-class' standard and down-to-earth personality.

Harry Kane made it 13 goals in just seven games this season as the Bayern Munich star's hat-trick secured his team a thumping 4-1 win at Hoffenheim. The striker scored one from a corner and two penalties to stretch the German giants' lead at the top of the Bundesliga. Former West Ham ace Vladimir Coufal pulled a goal back before substitute Serge Gnabry restored their three-goal cushion at the death.
