Hertha Berlin and John Brooks were unceremoniously knocked out of the Europa League on Thursday. A 3-1 second leg defeat to Danish side Brøndby in the third and final qualifying round sealed the Bundesliga club’s fate. Before their domestic season has even started, their European campaign is kaput.
Just minutes after the result became public knowledge, social media speculation kicked into high gear about the future of United States defender, John Brooks. Could this disappointment lead to a transfer of some sort?
It could be argued that Brooks’ transfer value is as high as it’ll ever get.
