Overview

• Hoffenheim is pressing for a nominal fee that would approve Bischof’s early exit for the tournament’s kickoff on June 14.
• The clubs must finalize their agreement by June 10 to use Bayern’s extra transfer window for the Club World Cup.
• Bischof’s contract officially expires on June 30, enabling Bayern to register him afterward as one of three late additions.
• He was omitted from Germany’s U21 European Championship squad because Bayern anticipates his involvement in the Club World Cup.
• Jonathan Tah faces a similar hurdle after Bayer Leverkusen withheld his clearance for the tournament.
