Due to a long injury history, Jeremy Dudziak, a 30-year-old Tunisian international midfielder, previously had a contract with Hertha BSC described as a 'mini contract' that would have allowed him to transfer for free in the winter. It was reported that clubs including Holstein Kiel, Heracles Almelo, and FC Tokio were interested in a move, which prompted Hertha to act. The club gave Dudziak an emergency contract extension, which is a professional contract with a second-division salary in the five-figure monthly range. His contract now runs until June 30, 2026. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €400k. In the current season, he has made 4 appearances in the Regionalliga Northeast, scoring one goal and providing two assists. He has also made 2 appearances and scored one goal in the 2. Bundesliga.
