Wouter Burger Open to Future Moves, But Content at Hoffenheim

TSG Hoffenheim midfielder Wouter Burger has not ruled out a potential move away from the club, but has expressed his current happiness in Germany. The 24-year-old joined Hoffenheim in July 2025 from Stoke City.

Current Situation and Future Outlook

Burger, who signed a long-term contract with Hoffenheim, acknowledged that in football, nothing is certain. I’ve only just turned 25 and I’m far from reaching my limit. Football is football, you can never say I’ll stay 100 percent. But I’m very happy to be here and in Germany because of my girlfriend. We bought a very nice apartment and have no plans to depart straight away.

He then moved to Basel in August 2021 before joining Stoke City in August 2023 for a reported £4.3 million. His transfer to Hoffenheim last summer was for an undisclosed fee.
