Only two new additions at SV Werder Bremen are currently clouding the anticipation of the new season. Now the transfer of RB Leipzig’s André Silva, which has been moving to for weeks, is also to become increasingly unrealistic – even though the Saxons help the former club of coach Ole Werner in the best possible way in finalizing a deal. Werder coach Horst Steffen continues to be patient.

The sticking point in the course of a change of the 29 -year -old center forward is the salary, which should be seven million euros annually. According to matching media reports on Wednesday, RB had agreed to pay Silva a higher severance payment when changing, which could compensate for a lower salary on the Weser. Leipzig is important to hand over the Portuguese with a contract term until 2026 this summer. However, according to a report by the “kicker”, the Bremen still do not see a prospect of approaching enforcement, although the Silva, which was borrowed in the past half year, also signaled to change Werder, according to the “Deichstube”.
The attacker came to RB in 2021 for 23 million, a small seven -digit sum is considered a realistic transfer in addition to the salary negotiations in the course of a sale to Bremen. A change of Silvas in front of the DFB Cup duel with Arminia Bielefeld on Friday is now considered excluded. Steffen was asked about the Bremen transfer flakes on Wednesday. The 56-year-old emphasized that “the hope that one or the other transfer will still come, certainly also gives me”, he also had to remain: “I have already looked at the cell phone and thought: Okay, maybe there was no message yet.”
At least two new players should find their way to the Osterdeich before the Bundesliga start the weekend after next. “Whether it will be a third party or not – I don’t know that exactly yet,” said Steffen. After the departure of Marvin Ducksch (for 2 million euros to Birmingham), the Bremen focus is initially on the offensive, where Marco Grüll, Justin Njinmah and Keke Topp are options for the duel with Arminia. “Keke, Justin and Marco have already scored their goals in the Bundesliga – even if the preparation did not like that many.
