He's now one of the constants in the Bundesliga, and FC Bayern recently asked.
Jonas Hofmann speaks surprisingly openly about it.
Munich / Stuttgart - The transfer period at FC Bayern * was rather unspectacular in European comparison, with Marcel Sabitzer, Dayot Upamecano and Omar Richards rather no stars from the world class category.
In the end, however, coach Julian Nagelsmann * should still be satisfied.
In addition to ex-RB captain Sabitzer, two Gladbach stars were also traded on Säbener Strasse.
Ultimately, however, the rumors about Matthias Ginter and Jonas Hofmann were referred to the realm of fables by those involved in FCB.
But apparently there was something to it, at least in FCB's interest in midfielder Hofmann.
FC Bayern: Jonas Hofmann speaks surprisingly openly about transfer - "Of course I listen to that"
The 29-year-old now openly confirmed this in an interview with
Sport1
.
"I also think that it is completely legitimate to look around for possible changes in professional life," says Hofmann: "Everyone does it that way.
You as a reporter as well as us footballers and of course I deal with it when FC Bayern shows interest in me. "
In general, the DFB national player does not rule out a change, even if his contract with the foals runs until 2023.
“I think it is a confirmation of my work when I am associated with large clubs.
It's an honor and makes me proud, "says the native of Heidelberg:" Of course I also listen to something like that and then weigh up exactly what would speak for and against a change. "

"Not to the point concrete"
A move to FC Bayern is not entirely out of the question, as Hofmann has a very special relationship with coach Nagelsmann.
“Our relationship is very good.
We've known each other for almost 15 years, ”he reveals:“ Because I've been in Hoffenheim since I was a youth in Germany.
In time you know everyone.
Julian trained one or two years under me.
The contact between us has never been broken. "
Hofmann has been playing for Gladbach for over five years.
In January 2016 he came to the Bökelberg from BVB.
At the EM 2021 he was part of the DFB squad, but was not used until the end of the round of 16.
Under the new national coach Hansi Flick, the versatile midfielder could play as a right-back.
