The latter has become the focus of the Berliners for Ngankam, whose services to Frankfurt Eintracht are said to be worth four million euros and whose transfer is being discussed with the Hessians. This is reported by the “table football“. Turkish media had previously reported on Hertha’s interest in the 31-year-old, who moved from the “Lilien” to Fenerbahce free of charge in 2021.

Since then, the attacker has played 28 goals in 63 competitive games on the Bosphorus, but was only used sporadically in the past Süper Lig season. Dursun’s contract runs until 2024, but with his experience from 159 second division games (67 goals, 22 assists) he could fit into Hertha’s profile.

According to reports from Turkey, the sticking point at Dursun is his salary expectations. This amounts to 1.2 million euros a year, Hertha does not want to exceed a limit of 800,000 euros for the 1.90 meter offensive power. In the TM rumor mill, there is skepticism about a possible Dursun transfer.

“Basically, Dursun is a top striker for the 2nd league, but 1.2 million euros is already a board,” writes the user “CAPTAINstonie”. User Norrey says: “I actually thought the role of the striker would be covered well enough with Niederlechner for the second division. Personally, I think a lot of Dursun, but we cannot and should not afford two high earners for the same position/role.”

Hertha BSC: Cigerci before returning to Turkey

Meanwhile, the Berliners are said to have given the green light for the departure of midfielder Tolga Cigerci, who was brought in from Ankaragücü in winter for 350,000 euros. The 31-year-old played eleven Bundesliga games in the second half of the season, but only played the full 90 minutes in one game. In the season finale, he played no role under Pál Dárdai. According to the magazine, Cigerci is about to return to Ankara, which wants to reinvest the transfer fee received in January in the ex-protégé.
