Niclas Füllkrug takes center stage at the World Cup! From the 2nd Bundesliga with Werder Bremen he returned to the Bundesliga and to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar for the first time in the national team.

His contract with Werder Bremen, with whom he returned to the Bundesliga in the summer of 2022, runs until 2025. As the 29-year-old emphasizes several times, he feels comfortable in Bremen and has even given up part of his salary to help the club support financially.
