Hertha BSC apparently rejected the transfer of Max Kruse

Max Kruse is one of the top performers at Union Berlin. As the sports picture reported, the attacker almost ended up at city rivals Hertha BSC in 2020.

Accordingly, the then sports director Michael Preetz rejected an obligation. The attacker was “too old, too unpredictable” for Hertha.

Kruse had terminated his contract with Fenerbahce Istanbul at the time. However, some clubs had refrained from a free transfer because a legal dispute with the traditional Turkish club had been suggested.

On Wednesday, Kruse and his current club Union Berlin will meet Hertha in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup (from 8.45 p.m. in the live ticker).

At that time, the Berliners had also refrained from working with Robin Knoche, who was also free at the time. The central defender is also a regular for the Köpenickers.

Meanwhile, Kruse’s working paper expires with the Irons next summer, which is why he could be committed again on a free transfer.
