Alexander Djiku's move to German side TSG Hoffenheim has fallen through after disagreements with the agent's fees.

The defender arrived in Germany on Wednesday, where he passed his medical examinations after TSG Hoffenheim agreed on personal terms with the defender.

The club had also finalized a transfer fee with Strasbourg, around € 7 million with the Ghanaian international expected to sign a four-year deal.

According to the French publication Le Equipe, the player's agent who happens to be his brother asked for an increase in commission at the last minute prompting TSG Hoffenheim to pull the plug on the transfer.

He has been chased by Sevilla, and Villareal and was also linked with a move to fellow French Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes.

The footballer's contractual situation (contract ends in 2023) and his desire to leave have forced the hands of Strasbourg to lower their initial claims of twelve million.

This would be the first stage of the versatile player - apart from center back he can play as a pivot and right back.

In his career, he has played two hundred and fifteen games divided between three teams and in different competitions.

His numbers at RC Strasbourg have been ninety-six games played, scoring three goals and receiving twenty-four yellow cards.

The 2021-2022 season ended with a balance of thirty-three games played, one goal scored and eight yellow cards received. 

Since his debut in September 2020, he is also a regular with the Ghana national team, reaching the 2022 African Cup of Nations and having 11 caps.
