Managing Director Dr. Peter Görlich announced that Hertha BSC will reduce the squad size and adjust the expenditure structure. Players such as Linus Gechter are mentioned as possible departures. Görlich said that if offers come in for players, the club has to carefully examine them due to its situation and make decisions together with the players.

According to Sky, Linus Gechter is under contract with Hertha BSC until 2028 and has a release clause described as moderate. Sky also states that there is Bundesliga interest in Gechter and that five to six clubs are interested in signing him. It is reported that discussions with the defender are already taking place privately.

According to Bild, Linus Gechter will play in the Bundesliga next season, and many parties are interested in him.

According to a report by 'Sky', unnamed clubs from the top tier of the Bundesliga are showing interest in the 1.91-meter-tall central defender. As things currently stand, next summer is the last chance for the "Old Lady" to secure an adequate transfer fee for the homegrown talent, who is contractually bound until 2027.
