VfL Wolfsburg is close to signing Fabian Reese, the captain of Hertha BSC. After a disappointing season in Berlin, Reese apparently wants to leave the club. According to reports from "Sky" and "kicker", the transfer is only pending on final details, particularly the transfer fee. Wolfsburg is expected to pay between six and eight million euros for the 28-year-old forward. Reese has already expressed his desire to leave to the management at Hertha BSC and is said to have agreed to a contract with the Wolves until 2030.

The transfer of Reese is unavoidable for Hertha BSC, as the financially troubled club in the 2. Bundesliga can no longer afford high salaries. Reese earns around 150,000 euros per month in Berlin, a sum that the club can no longer sustain. The impending transfer is causing a stir in the Hertha cosmos, as Reese has previously emphasized his connection to the club and the city of Berlin.

With the move to VfL Wolfsburg, Reese is heading to a direct competitor for the upcoming season. He has reportedly rejected other offers, including those from the Bundesliga and Turkey, to join the Wolves. This could be a pivotal step in his career, as Wolfsburg is looking for reinforcements after their relegation from the Bundesliga.
