Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Hertha and VfL Wolfsburg have reached a transfer agreement for Fabian Reese with reports on Monday placing the fee around €8–9 million and a medical expected next.
- Earlier this week Reese and Wolfsburg were widely reported to have agreed personal terms, and Reese is said to have formally asked Hertha to approve an immediate move after returning from holiday.
- Initial coverage focused on a valuation gap with Hertha pushing for about €8 million and Wolfsburg offering closer to €6 million before reports of a higher settlement emerged.
- Reese is under contract at Hertha until 2030 and is reported to earn roughly €150,000 a month, which sources say makes the club more willing to sell to cut wage costs.
- Hertha sees the transfer as part of a wider summer rebuild that already included Kennet Eichhorn’s reported €9 million sale and is likely to trigger further departures as the club raises funds.
