Hertha BSC, a second-tier football club in Germany, is reportedly close to signing Danish defender Mads Pedersen from Bundesliga side FC Augsburg. According to reports from Bild and Sky, Pedersen is set to undergo a medical check in Berlin and the transfer fee is expected to be a six-figure sum. The 29-year-old has played 120 league games since joining Augsburg in 2019 but has been limited by injuries in recent seasons. Hertha, which has lost several key players ahead of the new season, aims to strengthen its squad by filling defensive gaps. The club has previously loaned out attacking players and is still seeking a central striker.
