Baris Atik loaned to Strum Graz

The 22-year-old midfielder, who has a contract with Hoffenheim until the summer of 2019, has been with the senior side for around a year and has featured three times in the Bundesliga. “Baris is a technically strong player who passed through our academy and has already gotten first-team experience. In Graz, he should be able to develop further and get playing time at a high level,” said TSG director of football, Alexander Rosen.

Thanks to his great talent, the former Turkey U19s international always played in an age group higher until U19s level. What's more, he won the U19s German championship in 2014 with current first team coach Julian Nagelsmann, and has played 74 times in the Regionalliga for the Hoffenheim U32s, scoring 18 goals.
