Bobic confirms Stark departure

Hertha BSC have officially confirmed that Niklas Stark will depart the club this summer.
Hertha BSC managing director for sport Fredi Bobic has confirmed reports that Niklas Stark will leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season.

"What I can confirm is that we have had many talks behind the scenes, and that the outcome is that he will leave when his contract expires," Bobic told reporters on Friday.

"The important thing for me is that he puts everything in until the end and he will do that. He is a top professional."

The 26-year-old defender has played for Hertha since making the move to Berlin from Nürnberg in 2015.
