Overview
- Hertha BSC and RC Lens confirmed the transfer on Friday, June 26, 2026, with most outlets reporting a multi-year contract running to 2029 while one report cited 2030.
- Media and club statements put the deal at up to €5 million including performance-related bonuses with some reports naming a base fee near €3.5 million.
- The sale increases Hertha’s summer transfer receipts to more than €20 million following previous departures such as Fabian Reese and Kennet Eichhorn.
- For Cuisance the move is a sporting step up: he returns to his native France to play Champions League football and reunites with coach Dino Toppmöller, a former Bayern colleague.
- Hertha loses another first-team midfielder after two seasons in which Cuisance made 69 appearances and the exit underlines the club’s need to reduce wages and trim squad quality this summer.
