Hans Christian Bernat, the first-choice goalkeeper for Botev Plovdiv, is nearing a move to Germany. According to reports from the local publication 'Badische Neueste Nachrichten', Karlsruhe, a team from the 2. Bundesliga, has resolved to sign the 24-year-old Danish goalkeeper. Bernat has been selected to step in for Max Weiß, who was transferred to the English club Burnley for a fee of 4 million euros. Having joined Botev Plovdiv from Odense the previous summer, Bernat participated in 37 matches during his initial season, achieving 14 clean sheets. Although he is among the top earners at Botev Plovdiv, he recently turned down the management's offer to alter his contract's financial conditions, which are set to last until the summer of 2026, thereby increasing the likelihood of a sale.
