U-turn at Plattenhardt and Hertha BSC possible – consultant open

Extension instead of farewell?

“The contract expires in the summer, that has been decided and clearly discussed with the player and his advisors,” said Fredi Bobic of the “Bild” in early January about the upcoming departure of Marvin Plattenhardt. The signs have changed: Bobic is no longer sports manager for the capitals, and the 31-year-old Plattenhardt currently has his place in the team. According to the newspaper, a reversal in personnel is again possible, and farewell is no longer certain.

Hertha wants to talk to Plattenhardt in order to exchange ideas about the future. An extension no longer seems impossible. “We are basically open to all sides,” said Herbert Briem, advisor to the left-back, who was in demand again “Picture”.

Discuss Hertha BSC in the forum nowThis way
Already at the beginning of December, the “Kicker” said that Hertha’s managers had not yet approached Plattenhardt and that an extension seemed unrealistic, also for budgetary reasons. If an agreement is reached, the veteran would have to continue to make financial cuts – which would also be likely if he changed clubs. The former DFB player switched from 1. FC Nürnberg to the “Alte Dame” for €500,000 in 2014, for which he has played 227 games (8 goals/35 assists) since then. He has 20 appearances with three assists this season. Most recently, the captain was on the pitch five times in a row for the full season, recently a little more offensive than a left rail player. Coach Sandro Schwarz appreciates the professional very much, it is said.

Hertha BSC has three players for the left back – will Plattenhardt stay?

Plattenhardt caused a stir because he was unable to travel to the training camp in the USA because of his vaccination status and thus missed important preparation time with the team. “It’s his decision, we discussed it with him. You can’t force a player to get vaccinated. It was important to us that he could train – he does that in Berlin with the U23s,” said ex-sports director Bobic at the beginning of the year.

In addition to Plattenhardt, Hertha can also fall back on Maximilian Mittelstädt (25), who recently extended his contract until 2027, at left-back. 18-year-old Lukas Ullrich can now go free in the summer, and it has not yet been possible to extend the expiring contract. Several Bundesliga clubs are said to be on the native Berliner’s turn. Also because of this open personality, the chances of a continuation of the cooperation with Plattenhardt would increase again.
