At the age of 22, Hoffmann still hasn't made his debut for the senior team, only a couple of appearances at three International Champions Cups has given Hoffmann an inkling of hope towards finally breaking into the first team.
A poor season for Bayern II hasn't helped his case, and with relegation back to the Regionalliga, Ron-Thorben Hoffmann feels his time is up and he wants to move on.
According to leading German magazine Kicker, Hoffmann is "aiming for the next development step at another club". Bayern are ready to cash up, too. The goalkeeper's contract expires a year from now and The Bavarians think Hoffmann is too valuable to lose on a free transfer next summer.
Hoffmann is included in Stefan Kuntz's extended squad for the Olympics, he wants clarity before heading to Tokyo so expect quick progression in the transfer.
Bayern's stance is simple: pay €1 million and you can have Hoffmann. Any less and he will stay a Bayern player.
