Hertha BSC midfielder Jeremy Dudziak is being linked with a move to J1 League side FC Tokyo, according to transfer data compiled on 10 December 2025.

The 30-year-old central midfielder, capped at international level for Tunisia and also holding German nationality, is the subject of interest from the Japanese club as Hertha weigh up options for a player currently valued at €500,000. The reported probability of the deal remains unclear, with the move listed only as a rumour, but the figures involved suggest any agreement would be relatively low risk for FC Tokyo.

Dudziak, left-footed and versatile across central midfield, has experienced fluctuating market values in recent years, falling from €750,000 in mid-2024 to €500,000 as of October 2025. That trajectory, coupled with Hertha’s 2. Bundesliga status, has fuelled suggestions the Berlin club could be open to a departure, or that the player could move closer to free-agent territory if no extension is forthcoming.

Born in Hamburg on 28 August 1995, Dudziak came through the academies of MSV Duisburg, Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund, progressing from Dortmund’s youth ranks to the first team before building his senior career in Germany’s lower divisions. Spells at FC St Pauli, Hamburger SV and SpVgg Greuther Fürth were followed by a loan to Turkish side Hatayspor, giving him experience in both the Bundesliga pyramid and the Süper Lig.

He joined Hertha from Fürth in 2023 and later had a brief period without a club in 2025 before returning to the Berlin side. No recent competitive match details are provided in the current data, and the terms or structure of any prospective move to Japan have not been specified.

Should the transfer materialise, a switch to FC Tokyo and the J1 League would mark the first Asian chapter of Dudziak’s career and could offer a late-career platform to redefine his role and profile on a new continent.
