SV Werder Bremen: Marco Bode does not rule out transfers in winter!

Transfer window open until February 1st

Bremen – So far it looked like that SV Werder Bremen will not and cannot afford transfers in winter for financial reasons. But maybe something is still possible. At least that is what supervisory board chief Marco Bode indicated in the podcast “NDR 2 Bundesliga show”.

“The current crisis caused by Corona is continuing, so I cannot hope that we will make large investments this winter. But I don’t want to rule out whether there will be changes in the squad anyway – in one direction or the other, “said Bode and shot the ball to sports director Frank Baumann:” Frank and his team will check that. “This also includes scouting. Chef Clemens Fritz. The ex-pro of SV Werder Bremen had to be possible on Wednesday Transfers expressed cautiously, but also demonstrated a certain ability to act: “We are not planning to do something. But we are prepared, we have our position lists, which we update constantly. ”So if one of these dream players comes onto the market and is affordable on loan, Werder might still strike. Especially in the midfield, the Bremen team is very thin and really needs a six – or a ten.

Werder Bremen: Yuya Osako is considered the hottest transfer candidate

Marco Bode stressed, however, that he thinks the current squad is strong enough to keep the league. And in addition to this sporting goal, something else is very important in this special Corona season: economic consolidation. “We have to survive this difficult phase economically, this is one of the main focuses of the Supervisory Board,” said Bode. Because of the corona crisis and the resulting lack of audience income, counts Werder Bremen with a minus of 30 million euros and has therefore taken out loans of more than 20 million euros with the help of the state of Bremen. The money is needed to finance ongoing operations – and not actually to pay a new player. However, it is also true that a descent would cost Werder even more money and certainly not make repaying the loans easier. The Transferfenster is open until February 1st. And a player’s sale may free funds. The hottest candidate is Yuya Osako. (knee)
