"I can say it openly: Bayern Munich. In hindsight, it's the only club I think I should have joined. But we'll never know how things would have turned out. That was during the time of Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller, and all the others; it was clear I wouldn't have played as much as I did here [in Hoffenheim]. Financially, I would definitely have been better off. That's the only thing I might regret; everything else didn't particularly appeal to me. That's why I'm still here."

Andrej Kramarić has been Hoffenheim's leading forward since joining from Leicester in 2016. He identifies Bayern Munich as the only club he regrets not joining, acknowledging that he likely would have received limited playing time behind Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller and other stars. He notes a Bayern move would have offered greater financial reward but less on-field involvement. He chose consistent minutes at Hoffenheim and continued professional satisfaction. He recently scored a hat trick against Borussia Mönchengladbach. He accepts the financial trade-off while valuing playing time and career fulfillment.
