Ivan Kalyuzhny, while playing for Oleksandriya, was in discussions for a potential transfer to Hertha in Germany. He had meetings with Hertha's management, and they agreed to his conditions. However, negotiations were difficult as Oleksandriya did not want to release him even in winter, prioritizing their season's results over financial gain. Hertha suggested a summer transfer, which Kalyuzhny was not keen on.

Ivan Kalyuzhnyi is contemplating a move before the transfer window closes. Hertha, a team from Germany's second division, has expressed interest in him. It was reported that representatives from the Berlin-based club have traveled to Turkey to negotiate with the management of the Ukrainian team. Kalyuzhnyi is still undecided about his future, as he is considering various options. Metalist 1925, a competitor from the First League, intends to wait until summer to sign Ivan as a free agent. During this season, Kalyuzhnyi has participated in 16 matches for Oleksandriya, scoring one goal and providing one assist. His contract with the Ukrainian club is set to expire in six months.
