Accordingly, they have agreed on a fee that is linked to performance-related bonus conditions. If these are achieved, the transfer fee could increase to between 6 million and a maximum of 7 million euros. In addition, Tousart’s Hertha contract should not be valid until 2025, but only until 2024 – as a result, the negotiating basis for the relegated worsens.

For Union, Tousart would be the seventh signing of the summer and third for midfield. Thanks to these transfers with a total market value of 75 million euros – including Tousart – the “iron” would then increase their squad value to 183 million euros.
On the Hertha side, where it is still a matter of accommodating the top earners like Tousart with other clubs, eleven departures have been recorded since relegation. Most recently, center forward Krzysztof Piatek, who was signed in 2020 for €24m and is now moving to Turkey for Basaksehir FK on a free transfer. Recently it was said that Tousart could also move abroad, but the rumors about a move to SSC Napoli became nothing concrete.
