A €9.5m exit clause in his current contract enables Maza to depart Charlottenburg after the season. The two German sources nevertheless report that Hertha will still seek a transfer fee between €11m and €15m for their player.

This should serve as no problem for Germany’s red company team. Kicker reports that Maza has made his decision and the transfer will be finalised in the next ten days. Maza has scored five second division goals this season.
