The club, which was shown again on Saturday, when they lost 3-1 after a 1-0 lead, lacks experience and cleverness - and he, the player, brings exactly that.

It seems that both sides are now teaming up: Hertha BSC, as reported by the “kicker” on Sunday morning, is about to sign Sami Khedira, the 2014 world champion.

The 33-year-old midfielder, who played a total of 77 international matches from 2009 to 2018 before he was no longer considered after the World Cup in Russia, is said to be in Berlin.

It is said that the medical check is scheduled for Sunday morning, after which Khedira is supposed to sign.

Eight national titles with Juve

Khedira left the Bundesliga in 2010 after the World Cup in South Africa, where he played for Germany with Arne Friedrich, Hertha’s sports director, and headed for Real Madrid.

In 2007 he became German champion with VfB Stuttgart.

In 2015 he moved to Juventus Turin.

At Juve, where he won five championship and three cup titles, Khedira did not even get a chance this season under coach Andrea Pirlo.

He has played 145 times for the top Italian club, scored 21 goals and prepared 13 goals.

At the end of December, Khedira had received permission from Juventus to negotiate with other clubs.

Back then it was said that Khedira was about to move to England.

There was talk of Everton, which is coached by Carlo Ancelotti and under whom Khedira worked at Juve.

"The Premier League is still missing in my collection, playing there would be the icing on the cake," said Khedira to "The Athletic".

Instead of Premier League, now Bundesliga.

At Hertha you will receive him with open arms.

In Frankfurt on Saturday after the coaching change from Bruno Labbadia to Pal Dardai, the team initially seemed a bit more stable, but as the game played, Hertha revealed well-known weaknesses in the game organization and especially in the defensive network.

Coach Dardai attested to the team afterwards, to have played with heart.

But in “so-called stressful situations” she did not defend well.

Maybe it works better with Sami Khedira.

It is said that he would be free of charge because Juve apparently wanted him off the payroll.

As far as the contract term is concerned, it can be assumed that both sides will first agree on a contract by the end of the season, possibly with an option for further employment.

By the way, his first appearance, if the move to Hertha works, would be on Friday - against FC Bayern.
