Holstein Kiel Nears Loan for Hoffenheim’s Umut Tohumcu as Winter Moves Accelerate

The move would make him Kiel’s highest-valued player at €5 million.

Overview

  • Transfermarkt reports the 21-year-old is undergoing a Friday medical ahead of an expected loan to Kiel through the end of the season.
  • If completed, his €5 million market value would place him above Alexander Bernhardsson as the club’s most valuable player.
  • Kiel’s midfield plans also include a reported pursuit of HSV’s Jonas Meffert, which has not been finalized.
  • Transfermarkt confirms Kiel’s interest in Slavia Prague left-back Ondrej Zmrzly, who is under contract until 2027 and has recently been omitted from match squads.
  • Kiel resumes training on Friday before a week-long camp in Spain, and positional usage with John Tolkin in midfield and Leon Parduzi unused underscores the search for a left-back.
