According to German Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, Hoffenheim is still considering the introduction of Cologne left-back Finkgraf, and specific negotiations have begun.

Florian Plettenberg wrote on social media: "Hoffenheim is still considering Finkgraf's transfer, and specific negotiations have begun."

"Stuttgart is paying close attention to the player's situation, but considering the high cost and Mittelstadt/Hendricks factors, there is not much progress at present. Only when Finkgraf clearly states that he only wants to join Stuttgart, the latter will really take it seriously."

"Finkgraf's contract with Cologne will expire in 2026."

German left-back Finkgraf was born on March 27, 2004. He can also play as a left winger and midfielder. This season, he played 16 games for Cologne in various competitions.
