Overview
- TSG Hoffenheim announced the free transfer of Sean Dulic on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, with German outlets reporting a four-year contract running to 2030.
- Dulic is a 21-year-old centre-back who came through 1860 Munich’s academy, made 23 appearances and registered three goal contributions in last season’s 3. Liga, and has six Germany U20 caps.
- Hoffenheim’s sporting director, Frank Kramer, described Dulic as a physically strong, duel‑winning and dynamic defender and said the club will pair training with the first team and 3. Liga game time to aid his development.
- Multiple Bundesliga clubs entered a brief transfer scramble for Dulic, with reports linking FC Schalke 04, FC Augsburg and VfL Bochum before Hoffenheim completed the signing.
- The move underscores the cost to TSV 1860 Munich from their licence-enforced drop to the Regionalliga Bayern because the club receives no fee for one of its top homegrown talents and fans saw Dulic publicly bid farewell on Instagram.
