Almost all players in Hertha are subpar or mediocre.
Untamed Insight: Here's a fresh take on the latest changes in the market values of 2. Bundesliga players, specifically focusing on Hertha BSC and a few other standout clubs. Let's dive into the winners and losers, transfers, and overall impressions.
Knock, Knock... Market Value's Changing:
Things haven't beentoo encouraging for Hertha BSC players following recent lackluster performances. Their market values have taken a significant hit, as per the latest updates on transfermarkt.de.
On the downside, the midfielders Kevin Sessa, Pascal Klemens, Michal Karbownik, striker John Thorsteinsson, and winger Marten Winkler suffered the most, losing substantial market value.
Winners Are Scant: Only Two Stars Shine
On the positive side, only two Hertha BSC stars, Fabian Reese and Derry Scherhant, saw an increase in their market value. Scherhant, who moved to Freiburg in the Bundesliga, is now valued at a whopping €4 million.
For comparison, the biggest winners in the 2. Bundesliga are Nicolo Tresoldi from Hannover (€9M), Fisnik Asllani from Elversberg (€8M), and Ludovit Reis from Hamburg (€7M).
Stumbling Blocks:
Marcel Halstenberg, formerly of Hannover and a former national player, tops the list as the biggest market value loser. His value plummeted from €1.5M to zero, due to him bidding adieu to the game and joining Grasdorf in the Kreisliga.
Tidbits of Enrichment:
- Consistency and form have been a decisive factor in the declines experienced by Dejan Ljubicic (Köln), Adam Karabec (Hamburg), and Maximilian Bauer (Kaiserslautern).
- The transfer of Jordan Torunarigha to Hamburg in 2025 established him as a valued player, with a market worth between €1.9M and €2.8M in the 2. Bundesliga.
- Hertha BSC is planning to strengthen its midfield by signing Schalke 04's Paul Seguin for around €500,000. Seguin has been impressive with his 25 appearances and 2 goals, scoring 5 assists in the 2. Bundesliga.
- Bradley Ibrahim, another Hertha player, recently moved to Plymouth for a modest fee of around €300,000.
The Big Picture:
Hertha BSC is making strategic moves by acquiring experienced talent like Seguin for their promotion bid. Some key Hertha players maintained or slightly improved their market values, while decreases were primarily linked to retirement, form, or waning club interest. The biggest losers, in general, were primarily aging or retiring players, while younger talents and key transfers continued to grow or hold their value.
- Despite the recent struggles in performance, only two Hertha BSC players, Fabian Reese and Derry Scherhant, have seen an increase in their market value, with Scherhant being the most valued at €4 million.
- European leagues might find interest in some Hertha BSC players, as signs suggest that the club is planning to strengthen their midfield by signing Paul Seguin from Schalke 04 for around €500,000.
