The 46-time Hungarian international Attila Szalai did not get a chance to play at Hoffenheim even after the change of coach, but at the same time the German club did not want to sell the defender, who received an offer from Turkey, at a lower price. And it seems that the Germans were right, because Szalai will now have the opportunity to build himself again, although not in the Bundesliga, but in Belgium. Attila Szalai will continue his career with the 10-times Belgian champion Standard Liege football team, which last won the championship under László Bölöni’s management in 2009.
The Belgian club announced on its website that
agreed with Hoffenheim on the loan of the 26-year-old defender until the end of the season.
The 46-time national team Szalai – who transferred to the Bundesliga from the Turkish Fenerbahce in 2023 – did not play a single minute in the German team in the current season. The player has been at the Belgian club since Friday, he also underwent a medical examination, and the agreement has now been completed. Standard is currently in 7th place in the Belgian points race after 21 rounds.
