The German tabloid also reports that Hertha have officially broken off attempts to acquire Danish defender Jannik Vestergaard for cost reasons. Another transfer of an unnamed player is also reported. Weber and squad planner Dirk Dufner are now said to be pursuing former Union Berlin and current Borussia Mönchengladbach defender Marvin Friedrich; a January 2022 transfer dissatisfied with his place with the foals.
Congolese winger Théo Bongonda of Spanish side Cadiz is also reported to be on "die alte Dame's" wish list. The former K.R.C. Genk attacker recently returned to Spain this past summer and has been floating in and out of head-coach Sergio Gonzalez's starting XI. Bongonda maintains an estimated market worth of €4 million in the latest transfermarkt listings.
As much in disarray as the nascent new front office team may find itself, at least one source claims that the new crew are holding their ground on PSV Eindhoven's attempts to ply Dodi Lukebakio away from the squad. Sacha Tavolieri reports that lucrative offers in the €10 million (bonuses inclusive) range have been rejected by Weber and staff as they attempt to keep a competitive roster together.
