Hoffenheim decide on BVB talent Campbell | OneFootball

After just half a year, there is now clarity over the future of on-loan BVB talent Cole Campbell in Hoffenheim. The TSG’s decision is likely to set things in motion in Dortmund as well.

TSG Hoffenheim have made a decision on Cole Campbell’s future. As the club from Kraichgau officially announced on Tuesday, they will not exercise the purchase option included in the loan deal with Borussia Dortmund. As a result, the attacking player will initially return to BVB after just half a year.

Campbell joined Hoffenheim on loan from Dortmund at the beginning of January. The idea was for the American to get the game time he had recently been lacking at BVB. However, the winger was unable to establish himself at TSG either. In the Bundesliga, he made only five or six brief appearances and accumulated very few minutes overall. In addition, he also featured for Hoffenheim’s second team.

Despite his return to Dortmund, there are currently many signs pointing to a permanent departure in the summer. Several media outlets are reporting in unison that Campbell no longer has a sporting future at BVB. Accordingly, both the club and the player are said to be seeking a move. BILD recently even wrote that Dortmund are aiming to arrange a transfer for the once highly rated talent as soon as possible.

Celtic Glasgow have BVB talent Campbell on their radar

According to media reports, internal differences are also said to be part of the background. Before his loan move, Campbell reportedly clashed several times with coach Niko Kovac and also rejected a loan to a second-division club, even though he would likely have had better chances of regular playing time there.

Even so, there is still said to be interest in the 20-year-old. According to reports, clubs from the Bundesliga, the Netherlands, and England are monitoring the American’s situation. Celtic Glasgow’s interest appears to be particularly concrete. The Scottish champions are said to have already looked into Campbell and held initial talks. According to Sky, the forward could even be among the Scots’ first summer signings.

That means the matter is likely to become an issue for Dortmund in the coming weeks. Campbell is still under contract with BVB until 2028, but his future no longer appears to lie in black and yellow.
