Hoffenheim has signed Serbian foreign offensive midfielder Gacinovic, with Swiss flexible Zuber exchanging Sinsheim for Frankfurt on the basis of the deal.
“There’s a little sadness on the one hand, but also a lot of anticipation on the other,” said Hoffenheim Sports Director Alexander Rosen. “We’re wasting a ubiquitous player on our team, but we’re winning an incredibly exciting player match with a profile we haven’t had recently. “
Left-handed game creator Gacinovic is the first signing of the Sebastian Hoene era at the Hoffenheim. Kerem Demirbay and Nadiem Amiri left for Bayer Leverkusen last summer, and Christoph Baumgartner’s new corporation has been welcomed through the club.
“[Gacinovic] is unpredictable, technically intelligent and a strong and fast midfielder,” Rosen said. “It gives us many characteristics with his skill with the ball, as well as his hard and urgent paintings when we don’t have possession. “
While Frankfurt lost a DFB Cup winner to Niko Kovac in 2018, they beat a player in Zuber who won the Russian Premier League and Super Cup in doubles in 2014 before making more than a hundred appearances for Hoffenheim.
“With Steven Zuber, we are strengthening in several positions,” said Fredi Bobic, Rosen’s counterpart. “On the one hand, it gives us probabilities on both sides; but you can also play in the middle. He knows the Bundesliga, is an experienced Swiss international, is harmful in attack and enriches our team. “
Zuber’s contract with Frankfurt runs until 2023; Gacinovic’s agreement with the Hoffenheim takes him until 2024.
