Rumors hit the internet on Tuesday that United States international John Brooks would be leaving Hertha Berlin as Wolfsburg are set to make him the most expensive American player ever by paying a reported transfer fee of €17 million.
That deal appears to be all but official after Hertha Berlin’s Sporting Director, Michael Preetz, spoke publicly about the rumors. He confirmed that Brooks has expressed his desire to leave the club and that it will happen, but did state the transfer isn’t complete yet.
