Bochum is willing to negotiate at a price of around 8 million Euros. Bernardo is currently injured but is expected to be fit after the international break. He is undergoing rehabilitation with Gladbach's doctors, allowing the club to assess him closely.

1. FC Union Berlin has reached a basic agreement with Bochum defender Bernardo (29). Negotiations with VfL Bochum regarding the transfer fee for the defender, who can play as a center-back and left-back, are ongoing.

Bernardo, the most consistent player in the Bochum squad and one of the best duelers in the league, is expected not to wear the VfL jersey in the future and instead bring in a million transfer fee for the club.
