Overview

• Jonjoe Kenny’s transfer to PAOK Saloniki is almost complete, ending his three-season stint with Hertha BSC.
• The 28-year-old played every minute of Hertha’s 32 league matches last season and was involved in eight goals in each of the past two campaigns.
• Kenny opted for PAOK after turning down interest from Bundesliga clubs to secure Europa League qualifying football.
• Manager Stefan Leitl and sporting director Benjamin Weber described Kenny’s departure as a major loss for defensive stability and leadership.
• Hertha BSC will assess returning loanee Julian Eitschberger and pursue additional right-back reinforcements to fill the vacancy.
