Last season, Daghim was on loan at Wolfsburg, where he played 30 games, scoring two goals and providing four assists. However, the club was relegated to the 2. Bundesliga. In total for Salzburg, Daghim played 57 matches, contributing six goals and five assists. He joined the Austrian club in 2023 from AGF and has had two loan spells since, including a stint at FC Liefering.

According to Salzburg's sporting director, Marcus Mann, Daghim made it clear after his time at Wolfsburg that he desired a move to one of Europe's top leagues. "This also turned out to be the best and most sensible solution for us, resulting in this lucrative transfer to TSG Hoffenheim," Mann said.

Hoffenheim's sporting director, Andreas Schicker, welcomed the addition of the Danish offensive player. "Adam is a young and talented player, and with his qualities and enormous speed, he was the clear first priority for the profile we were looking for," Schicker commented. "Even though he is only 20 years old, he has great development potential, but at the same time already has international experience from both club football and the national team."
