The report claims that Klinsmann also targeted Mario Götze, Julian Draxler as well as Emre Can, who ended up joining Borussia Dortmund.
Additionally, the 55-year-old reportedly suggested players from the American Major League Soccer and the Scottish Premiership.
Hertha completed the signings of Santiago Ascacibar, Matheus Cunha, Krzysztof Piatek and Lucas Tousart in January.
