Also sale for SVW conceivable
The future of national player Niclas Füllkrug is still open. “It’s going back and forth, it’s crazy,” said the 30-year-old striker on Sunday about the status of the contract negotiations with his club Werder Bremen. “There were days when we were closer and then there were days when we were further apart.” It was “a process. I don’t even know where it will lead in the end.” However, Füllkrug also emphasized: “It’s not like we have a break with each other. We are quite normal in conversations.”
The top scorer of the past Bundesliga season spoke to Bremen journalists on Sunday after a 3-1 friendly win over VfB Oldenburg. A year ago he had extended his contract with Werder until 2025, accepting a drop in salary from July 1, 2023. In the months that followed, Füllkrug rose to become a national player and World Cup striker.
According to media reports, Bayer Leverkusen and AC Fiorentina are now particularly interested in Füllkrug – and Bremen and their most important player are again negotiating a new contract with better conditions. According to the “dyke room” would increase the SVW Füllkrugs remuneration from the current 1.8 million euros to around 2.8 million euros. However, it is also part of the considerations to reduce the veteran’s fixed income again after one season, just like a year later.
However, Werder would also give up their top scorer for a transfer fee of around 20 million euros. Füllkrug himself confirmed on Sunday that the club had left him in no doubt in the contract negotiations. “Which isn’t always nice to hear for me,” said the offensive man. “But that’s the business, it’s just the other way around.”
