Talks Have Broken Down: Freenet Will NOT Become Hertha Berlin's New Main Sponsor
Update: Talks between Hertha BSC and Freenet have broken down and the company will not become the club's new main sponsor, as reported by RBB.
"We can confirm that there were talks. However, we did not come to a solution that was mutually acceptable for both sides," Freenet Group stated.
It's claimed that there was a discrepancy between what was offered by Freenet and what the club hoped to bring in from the new sponsor. And thus, Hertha's kit will remain sponsorless for the moment. However, the club are reportedly still in talks with other interested parties.
Hertha BSC have reportedly finally found a new main sponsor. According to Kurier, talks between the club and telecommunications company Freenet are at an advanced stage.
Hertha to Sign Freenet Sponsorship Deal
Check out the Hertha and Freenet logos down below.
It remains to be seen how exactly the Freenet logo will be applied to the Hertha kits - both of which have enjoyed great popularity thanks to their clean sponsorless looks.
No details about the length or value of the deal are known as of now, but it is unlikely that it will exceed the amount of the previous deal.
Hertha were previously sponsored by Tedi in a deal that was worth around €7.5 million per year. The contract was ended after the end of the current season.
According to earlier reports, club owner Lars Windhorst had hoped to secure deals with Amazon or Tesla.

Nike and Kids of Immigrants Goalkeeper Jersey + Total 90 Shoes Released
Nike and streetwear label Kids of Immigrants have officially unveiled a comprehensive collaborative capsule collection. This wider release expands significantly upon the retro football aesthetic, offering a full range of apparel, accessories, and highly unique modified footwear.
The undeniable centerpiece of the expanded collection is the introduction of two bespoke slip-on mules, which draw heavy inspiration from the iconic Nike Total 90 football boot. The mules arrive in two distinct colorways: a muted beige and olive green iteration featuring a speckled sole, alongside a darker, glossy black and rich brown patent leather version. Both pairs are unified by a striking red and yellow outlined Swoosh on the midfoot and tongue, matching the vibrant accents found on the collection's primary jersey.
Rounding out the collaborative effort is a selection of matching apparel and accessories designed to complete the capsule. The standout piece of these other items is a special 1990s keeper kit.
