The transfer market in the 2nd Bundesliga is simmering, and the current movements are causing a lot of discussion among the fans. Today, June 18, 2025, Paul Seguin left FC Schalke 04 and is moving to Hertha BSC. The 30-year-old midfielder has signed a contract until the end of July 2027 and is Berlin's fourth signing this summer, after Sebastian Grönning, Leon Jensen and Niklas Kolbe. Hertha's sporting director Benjamin Weber was enthusiastic about the signing and particularly emphasized Seguin's ball and passing security, which he gained through his experience in the 2nd Bundesliga. His skills were also appreciated by coach Stefan Leitl, who already knows Seguin from their time together at SpVgg Greuther Fürth. Last season, the player played 26 competitive games for Schalke, scoring two goals and assisting in five more. No information was given about the transfer fee, but Seguin still had a one-year contract with Schalke, which didn't necessarily make the financial situation any easier for the Gelsenkirchen team. rbb24 reports about the background to the transfer decision.
