Fabian Reese was linked with TSG Hoffenheim, but he declined their offer to remain with Hertha BSC and extend his contract until 2030. Reese will become the top earner at Hertha and has been promised a position in the club post-retirement.

Bild reports on Hoffenheim's interest in acquiring Reese.

Scouts from TSG Hoffenheim were recently present at the stadium to observe Fabian Reese, who has been a standout performer for Hertha, scoring seven of the team's last eleven goals. Reese, described as Hertha's "life insurance," reportedly has a release clause in the double-digit million range, attracting interest from several clubs, including Freiburg and Mainz earlier in the summer.
