Herta to buy Voronin if they reach a CL place

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.

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.”
