Salomon Kalou, the Salomon Kalou of Hertha Berlin, has returned to the squad but is still considering his future with the club. Although advised to find a new team during the winter transfer window, Kalou remains officially a Hertha player while exploring his options. The club’s sporting director, Michael Preetz, confirmed that the Ivorian striker is discussing potential moves with his agent.
Kalou rejoined the squad on Tuesday under new manager Alexander Nouri, who replaced Jürgen Klinsmann, but he is not expected to see significant playing time. The 34-year-old has made only seven appearances this season, scoring a single goal in the Bundesliga, highlighting his limited involvement on the pitch.
With his contract running until next June, Kalou is reportedly considering a move to Major League Soccer, where the transfer window remains open until May 5. After struggling for minutes in the 2019-2020 season, the former Lille OSC forward is weighing the opportunity to continue his career abroad and gain more playing time in the United States.
Kalou’s situation underscores both his desire for regular football and Hertha Berlin’s willingness to allow the striker to explore alternative options, as he approaches the later stages of his professional career.
