Raffael joins Hertha Berlin

FC Zurich have sold their Brazilian striker Raffael for a fee estimated to be around £3.5 million to Hertha Berlin. Raffael has scored twelve goals in fifteen league matches already this season.

Raffael, 22, has already undergone a medical examination by the Bundesliga club.

FC Zurich had wanted 6 million euros (8.8 million dollars) for the striker who would become the fourth Brazilian at Hertha following Gilberto, Mineiro, Lima.

However, reports said Hertha had been unwilling to pay more than 4.2 million euros for the player.
