Gone to the Boot: Marc Oliver Kempf's Italy Bound Journey 🚀
Are we sayin' goodbye to another key player, Berlin fans? Yep, you better buckle up, as Marc Oliver Kempf, a beloved defender and captain in Hertha BSC's second division, is hoppin' across the Alps to join Serie A underdogs Como 1907. That's right, folks, we're talkin' about the 29-year-old stalwart, who's been an essential piece of the Hertha pie since the start of 2022.
So, what's the deal with this big move? Apparently, Cesc Fàbregas, UEFA Championship and La Liga title champion, is leading the charge at Como, and Hertha BSC has officially shared the news. But, as always, the juicy details regarding the transfer have yet to spill. Rumors swirl that the deal might be worth around 2.5 million euros. With Kempf's exit, Berlin has bid a temporary farewell to another crucial player – not to mention their top goalscorer, Haris Tabakovic, who moved to Hoffenheim last week.
Has Kempf lost his heart to the glamorous life of international football? It seems so! Despite expressing contentment during a recent press conference, he changed his tune, announcing his dreams of playing abroad just a few days later on Twitter. Sayonara, Berlin! 🇩🇪🇮🇹
Munchin' on a Newbrooksy?
From a financial standpoint, this move could prove beneficial for both Hertha and the departing star. But, as they say, time will tell if Kempf can be easily replaced. Marton Dardai's got some skills, but they might not align perfectly with the new manager's playstyle.
As of now, whispers indicate that Hertha is eyeing a return of homegrown talent, John Anthony Brooks. Yep, you heard it right: that Berlin bred and bread Beckham of the field could be back in town. Brooks was a regular at the Hertha first team from 2011 to 2017, then he moved on to VfL Wolfsburg and Benfica Lisbon before joining TSG Hoffenheim in 2023. But, alas, his contract wasn't renewed during the summer.
So, what's the verdict? It looks like Marc Oliver Kempf's departure was a decision born of his own desires, with The Commission assisting in the negotiation process. They'll now be on the hunt for a suitable German defender to fill those big shoes, all while respecting Hertha's budgetary limits.
