In recent weeks, Fredi Bobic has never tired of emphasizing that Hertha BSC has no money left for newcomers. Now the 51-year-old managing director is history with the Berliners, Benjamin Weber and Andreas Neuendorf succeeded him this Sunday. And suddenly Hertha scraped together money.
As the ‘Bild’ reports, the new management duo has a budget of five million euros at their disposal. Two days left to prepare the old lady for the relegation battle. According to the daily newspaper, up to four newcomers should find their way to the federal capital. ‘Bild’ also provides the names of the candidates.
Quartet to come
Gauthier Hein (26) from AJ Auxerre has already been traded and is actually an issue for the right flank. Maximilian Philipp (28), who was born in Berlin and is currently active at VfL Wolfsburg, and Selim Amallah (26) from Standard Liège should also come for the offensive. The Moroccan made a name for himself at the World Cup in Qatar, appearing in all his team’s games.
Leicester City’s Jannik Vestergaard is a candidate to reinforce the defensive end. The 30-year-old was already active in the Bundesliga for TSG Hoffenheim, Werder Bremen and Borussia Mönchengladbach, but now only plays a minor role with the Foxes. At Hertha he would probably get a lot more match practice.
