On the last match day, Hertha slipped down to relegation rank 16 and has to fight for a place in the Bundesliga. At least there was a little consolation for the Berliners – over 5 million euros!
It’s about loan player Arne Maier (24)! He made a point landing at FC Augsburg, fulfilled the clause installed by Hertha manager Fredi Bobic (50) at the last minute in the 2-1 win against Fürth, which now gives the Berliners the windfall.
The deal is perfect!
Maier had to play 25 Bundesliga games in the starting eleven.
curious: The midfielder only made 21 appearances as a starter. However, since each of his eight substitutions is counted as half a game, Maier now has the necessary number of games in the end (21 plus 4).
