BILD reported on Monday evening that Leon Jensen signed a contract with 2. Bundesliga club Arminia Bielefeld on Tuesday morning after he passed his medical examination. The contract is valid until 2027 and includes an option for another year. Leon Jensen is joining from Hertha BSC on a free transfer, and Hertha BSC will get a bonus payment if specific future achievements, like staying in the league, are fulfilled. Jensen played for Hertha only one time this season, for the club's reserve team in the 4th division. The transfer was commented on by Hertha's sporting director, Benjamin Weber, and Bielefeld's managing director, Michael Mutzel.

According to BILD information, Leon Jensen is set to leave Hertha BSC, which would be the club's 16th departure of the current transfer window. A competition for the central midfielder reportedly occurred on Monday between two second-division clubs, Osnabrück and Bielefeld, and the 29-year-old German ultimately chose Arminia Bielefeld. BILD also reported that Jensen is scheduled for a medical on Tuesday morning, after which he will sign a one-year contract that includes an option for an additional year. Hertha, the Berlin club, is allowing the player to leave on a free transfer despite his contract running until 2027. The club will receive a bonus linked to future successes, such as avoiding relegation. The capital club is reportedly pleased to remove a well-paid professional from its payroll. The transfer follows an unhappy period for Jensen at Hertha, during which he made eight professional appearances in 14 months. At his new club, Jensen will accept a reduction in pay in exchange for the possibility of more playing time. His playing time was limited at Hertha because of the club's philosophy of promoting academy talents. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €700k.
