Hertha BSC has found a buyer for Dodi Lukébakio, whose transfer will bring millions into the coffers of the cash-strapped Berliners. FC Sevilla confirmed on Thursday evening the commitment of the 25-year-old winger, who had previously been shown at the airport in the Andalusian soccer metropolis, until 2028. Lukébakio was by far the most valuable player in the 2nd Bundesliga with a market value of 12 million euros, came there for the “Old Lady” after the descent but no longer used.

According to reports, the Bundesliga relegated will receive a transfer fee of 10 million euros for the sale of Lukébakios, which according to “sky“ More bonuses can be added. In 2019, the Berliners had paid 20 million euros for the services of the right wing. Nevertheless, a transfer of this magnitude is the sixth most expensive departure in the history of Hertha, the twelfth most expensive in the 2nd Bundesliga and brings important income for further reinforcements. After relegation, they now took in 31.65 million euros, 3.6 million euros were spent on newcomers (to all Hertha transfers in 2023/24).

Most recently, Premier League promoted Burnley FC with coach and compatriot Vincent Kompany was also considered interested, but Lukébakio is said to have hesitated because he did not want to play another season to stay in the league. Sevilla, on the other hand, are in the Champions League after the club’s seventh Europa League win this season. For the left-footer, whose contract in Berlin was valid until 2024, Spain is the fifth country in which he is active after Belgium, France, England and Germany.

Hertha BSC: Rumors about Austria Wien’s Braunöder

So far, Matthias Braunöder has only worked in his home country of Austria, who, according to “sky“ is a new candidate for the central midfield in Berlin. The first talks between the 21-year-old from Austria Vienna and the capital city had taken place, more are planned. Accordingly, the Austrian U21 international is very interested in moving to Berlin, but also has other options – including Hellas Verona from Serie A and two clubs from the English Championship.

The price tag for Braunöder, whose working paper runs until 2025, should be between one and two million euros. In the Transfermarkt community, this amount is considered unrealistic. User “MW-scout11” writes, for example: “I can hardly imagine that under 2 million or that would be a slap in the face. I would be persuaded to get 2 million+ bonuses with the appropriate playing time as well as a resale participation.” “Kehnceh” also says: “Below 2 million would really be a declaration of bankruptcy, that would be really extremely bitter.” Braunöder’s market value is 3 million euros .

Most recently, both clubs were already negotiating about the change of center forward Haris Tabakovic. At Hertha BSC there is a gap in central midfield after Suat Serdar left in the direction of Verona. At least two reinforcements should therefore come in this position by Deadline Day. The commitment of SSC Napolis Diego Demme, with whom one has been in agreement for a long time, seems certain, and Stef Peeters, without a club, was also traded in front of Braunöder (to the TM rumor mill).
