In an interview with Football International on Nov. 11, the defender confirmed that his agent has been approached by teams from both the German top flight and the English Championship.
However, Hubner noted that no agreements have been reached.
“Many clubs have reached out to my agent, including teams from the English second tier and the German top flight, but nothing is concrete at this stage,” Hubner said.
Previously, the Indonesian international had drawn interest from SC Heerenveen. He also received a €2 million (US$2.2 million) offer from Indonesian club Persija Jakarta. Ultimately, he chose to remain with Fortuna Sittard to develop his career in Europe.
The 23-year-old’s current priority is helping Fortuna Sittard finish as high as possible in the league before taking the next step in his professional career.
The center-back noted that every player dreams of competing in the Premier League. He emphasized he is prepared to take a few intermediate steps to realize that ambition.
Fortuna Sittard currently sit seventh in the Eredivisie table. This position would qualify the team for European competition, having secured 20 points from 12 matches.
In the KNVB Cup, Hubner and his teammates defeated Sparta Rotterdam in the first round. They are now set to face FC Twente in a second-round clash.
Before joining Fortuna Sittard in the summer of 2025, Hubner spent several years with the Wolverhampton Wanderers U23 side in England and frequently trained with the first team. During the 2023/2024 season, he was named in the official matchday squad for a Premier League fixture against Arsenal, though he remained on the bench as an unused substitute.
