©IMAGO
The future of 19-year-old Frenchman Kenny Quetant from Le Havre AC could soon be settled. While his training club was reportedly still trying to offer the youngster an adequate professional contract and thus possibly be able to keep him, the striker has long since become the focus of other clubs at home and abroad. According to information from the TV station “Sky”, one that is now becoming very specific is Werder Bremen.
Update 7:48 p.m.: According to the newspaper “Le Parisien“It seems Werder have been awarded the contract. Accordingly, Quetant should complete the medical check on the Weser on Thursday. The SVW is offering a four-year contract with the option for another season. SC Freiburg, who are also interested, have finally fallen behind.

The North Germans are pushing for a transfer of the promising talent, who would be available for free in the summer. Concrete negotiations between the Bundesliga club and the players’ side are already underway. It was initially said that Quetant was not averse to a move to the Weser. Another German club, SC Freiburg, was also considered a possible buyer last week. Just a few days ago, “Le Parisien” from Quetant’s hometown named the Breisgauers as the favorite to sign him.
How sensitively Quetant’s personality is treated at Le Havre is shown by the fact that the home-grown player has not been part of the professional squad in table 14 since the end of March. Ligue 1 counts. Apparently because the player has not made a commitment to the club since then. When asked about the status of the player, sports director Mathieu Bodmer said: “This is not an easy matter.” In France, LOSC Lille is also considered interested.
Quetant made his breakthrough at Le Havre this season. From December to March he was on the field nine times for the professionals and scored the first goal in his starting debut in the second game. He had previously contributed 14 scorers to the U19 team and impressively demonstrated his qualities. In January, the offensive force received a starting market value of 150,000 euros, which was increased to 2 million euros in the most recent Ligue 1 update in March.
