Barnsley interested in Hertha striker Köpke - Competition from Germany
Pascal Köpke recently had to sit out a few days at Hertha BSC due to a thigh injury. Whether the 24-year-old will return to the Berlin team on Monday after a short break from training remains to be seen. According to information acquired by Kicker, Köpke, who only played 11 Bundesliga games since his €2 million transfer from Erzgebirge Aue two years ago, could leave the Old Lady soon.
According to the report, Köpke has received inquiries from England and Germany. In addition to Championship club Barnsley, Nürnberg have already expressed their interest to the Berliners. Köpke is no stranger to the 2. Bundesliga club. The striker had already played for them for ten years in his youth. His father Andreas had also been active for the Franconians for many years.
However, as Kicker report, the clubs are still in disagreement about the transfer modalities. While Nürnberg are supposed to favour a loan, Hertha are aiming for a sale. The club from the German capital knows that the €2 million paid two years ago for Köpke, who is still under contract until 2022, cannot be recovered. In addition, the player still has to make a final decision between England and Germany.
