The Hertha Wels Courier

Tolga Günes scores twice — 8.37
Two goals and a mark of 8.37 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
Hertha Wels make their move for Maximilian Entrup
$1.7M on the table at LASK. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
Hertha Wels bid $600.0K for Salif Tietietta
The offer went to Altach this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
Boardroom10 Aug 2026
Hertha Wels go back to the board over Emmanuel Michael
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $748.8K — a club that wants Emmanuel Michael enough to be asked twice.

Too dear: Hertha Wels walk away from Yusuf Demir
$950.0K was the most the club would pay and Rapid Wien were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Rapid Wien tell Hertha Wels: Marco Tilio is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Tempers go at Hertha Wels
Tolga Günes was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match8 Aug 2026
Tolga Günes the difference as Hertha Wels beat Admira Wacker
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Tolga Günes. 2‑1 against Admira Wacker, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Andreas Radics was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
