Bundesliga club Hertha BSC and young player Omar Rekik will go their separate ways with immediate effect. The 19-year-old agreed on a move with Arsenal.
The contract of the defensive talent would have expired at the capital club next summer. Hertha BSC did not provide any information about the transfer modalities.
Rekik moved to the Spree in 2017 together with his older brother Karim. The 25-year-old left the club for Seville in the summer. Omar Rekik went through the junior teams of the U17, U19 and U23. In the past season he was a member of the Bundesliga squad three times, but never played.
At Arsenal, he is initially planned for the squad of the U23 team.
Hertha and Cologne on Wolfe midfielders?
On the other hand, according to a media report, Hertha BSC is already working to fill another gap. According to “picture“there is interest in Yannick Gerhardt from VfL Wolfsburg.
The 26-year-old should be signed in the summer and take the place of loan from Matteo Guendouzi. The French U21 international, on loan from Arsenal for one season in the summer, is hard to keep, according to the tabloid.
The advantage with Gerhardt: The 146-time Bundesliga player would be free of charge in the summer because his contract with the Wolves expires. He also knows Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia from their time together at Lower Saxony.
According to “Bild”, however, Hertha BSC is not alone in their interest in the left foot. According to this, his training club 1. FC Köln also looked at the contractual situation of Yannick Gerhardt.
Ultimately, VfL Wolfsburg also wants to fight for the services of its midfielder and offer a contract extension. Gerhardt has been playing for the Wolves since 2016, and this season he has four starting XI appearances in the Bundesliga.
