Holstein Kiel are being linked with a move for Hertha BSC’s central midfielder Jeremy Dudziak as the 30-year-old approaches a potentially uncertain contract situation in Berlin.
The 2. Bundesliga rivals are monitoring Dudziak’s future, with German outlet Transfermarkt listing a rumoured switch from Hertha to Kiel dated 14 April 2026 and assigning the speculation a probability mark of “?”, underlining that talks are at an early and unconfirmed stage.
Dudziak, born in Hamburg on 28 August 1995 and holding both Tunisian and German nationality, is valued at €400,000 – a figure that could make him an attractive, low‑risk option for Kiel, particularly if he were to become a free agent should his unspecified Hertha contract be allowed to run down or be terminated. His current deal details, including expiry date, have not been made public.
A left-footed central midfielder standing at 1.76m, Dudziak has been used primarily in the middle of the park for Hertha, wearing the number 28 shirt. He has operated across Germany’s professional tiers during his career, with his most recent campaigns coming in the 2. Bundesliga, giving him extensive experience of the division into which Kiel are looking to add further depth and technical quality.
Recent Hertha fixtures have continued to feature the Tunisian-German in matchday squads, with the rumour emerging after their latest league outing in April 2026, although specific performance data from that game is not cited in the report. His versatility and experience in German football remain central to interest in his services.
With no confirmed fee, no stated contract end date and only a tentative probability rating attached to the move, this remains firmly in the realm of transfer gossip. Even so, a switch to Holstein Kiel – whether for a modest fee or as a free agent later down the line – could offer Dudziak a fresh platform to reassert his value in the 2. Bundesliga and shape the next phase of his career.
