Due to a long history of injuries, the 30-year-old Tunisian international and central midfielder Jeremy Dudziak previously had a contract that would have permitted him to transfer for free in the winter. Holstein Kiel, Heracles Almelo, and FC Tokio were prepared to sign him, which led Hertha BSC to extend his contract to prevent the transfer. The German-Tunisian's new contract with the club he joined in October 2025 now runs until June 30, 2026. This season, he has made two appearances and scored one goal in the 2. Bundesliga, and has four appearances, one goal, and two assists in the Regionalliga Northeast. According to Transfermarkt, his current valuation is €400k.
