RB Leipzig Confirms Giovanna Hoffmann Will Leave This Summer

Hoffmann attributes her choice to a one-time career opportunity.

Overview

  • The club announced the Germany forward will depart when her contract expires at the end of the season, closing a two-year spell after joining from SC Freiburg in 2024.
  • Following an ACL tear in October, she will not play again this season, and RB Leipzig plans to bid her farewell at the final home match.
  • No next club has been named, with Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt reported as suitors and a free transfer expected after her deal runs out.
  • Hoffmann delivered 16 goals and six assists in 28 appearances for Leipzig and earned a starting role for Germany at Euro 2025, where she displaced Lea Schüller in the knockout phase.
  • Reporting also points to further attack reshaping at Leipzig, with striker Mai Kadowaki set to return to Japan to join Ōmiya Ardija.
