Hertha Berlin To Buy Voronin From Liverpool If They Seal Champions League Spot
If Hertha make the CL, their front line will still contain a certain pony-tailed goal machine...
Hertha Berlin have let it be known that an agreement is in place that will see Liverpool loanee Andriy Voronin join them on a permanent basis - but only if Champions League football is assured for next term.
The Ukrainian striker's red-hot form since joining on loan from Liverpool is a primary reason why Hertha currently top the Bundesliga going into the final stretch of the season.
Nevertheless, with no less than five teams in with a realistic shot of winning the title, a Champions League place is by no means guaranteed to the German capital club.
Hertha president Werner Gegenbauer told SID, "We cannot go through with a transfer unless we have extra funds from the Champions League, so it depends on whether or not we qualify.
"We can give and receive no promise, but we have to wait and see what happens at the end of the season."
Liverpool have yet to officially confirm whether they are willing to sell the 29-year-old outright, but his short spell at Anfield was so underwhelming that it is hard to imagine them turning down a reasonable offer.
