VfL Wolfsburg interested in three Hertha BSC players

VfL Wolfsburg are reportedly interested in signing three Hertha BSC players, as they look to build their squad for next season.

According to Sport Bild and Transfermarkt, 28-year-old left winger Fabian Reese, 22-year-old centre-back Linus Gechter, and 23-year-old goalkeeper Tjark Ernst are all potential options to join Die Wölfe in the summer transfer window. 

At the same time, the club has developed a financial plan, in the worst-case scenario of relegation from the Bundesliga. The club could sell various players, including Mohamed Amoura, Kamil Grabara, Konstantinos Koulierakis, Lovro Majer, Mattias Svanberg, and Patrick Wimmer to other clubs - leaving them with at least €100 million to spend on transfer targets.

All three of the aforementioned Hertha players would fit within that total, as they are worth a combined total of €12.5 million. Reese is currently worth €5 million, followed by Ernst at €4 million, and Gechter at €3.5 million. All three are currently contracted until at least 2027, with Reese in particular signed with Hertha until 2030.

Reese has 10 goals and 4 assists in 28 matches in 2. Bundesliga this season. Gechter has started 26 matches without a goal or assist; Ernst has played 28 matches, with 35 goals conceded and 11 clean sheets.
