“The way the loan went, both sides have certainly not imagined it,” said Werder Bremen Head of License Area Peter Niemeyer in relation to André Silva in May. The center forward of RB Leipzig had spent the past second half of the season with the green and white, but had only come to eight missions and a goal in 422 minutes. Nevertheless, both sides could try a second attempt.
As the “Deichstube” reports, the Bremen people are once again dealing with the 29-year-old Portuguese as an reinforcement for the attack. Silva is therefore high on the list of the SVW, because with his style of play he Passen to the footballing idea of the new coach Horst Steffen. It is currently being checked whether a permanent transfer is possible this time. In winter, Silva had loan without a purchase option, the salary had shared both clubs.
Update July 27, 5:58 p.m.: According to new information from the “Deichstube”, a change of Silvas to Werder becomes more specific. In the meantime, there was an intensive exchange between the parties with positive signals. The striker should be able to imagine a return to the green-whites and is also ready for salary smears. Nevertheless, a transfer is not yet considered certain, which is why the SVW tests further options in the attacker position.
The attacker’s contract with the red bulls is only one year left, which is why this summer would be the last time to implement an adequate transfer with him. The market value of Silvas has continued to fall in the past six months, from 5 million to 4 million euros. In addition, he has no future at Leipzig under ex-Werder and Neu-RB coach Ole Werner, which could continue to push the price. The Silva content could become a sticking point. He should receive almost 7 million euros annually from RB, which would not be affordable for Werder.
Three center forwarders are currently part of the Hanseatic squad. Marvin Ducksch is missing. The two youngsters Keke Topp and Salim Musah, who can prove themselves in preparation among the professionals, remain. The U19 service provider had recently extended his working paper in the long term.
Werder has previously presented two new additions this summer with Maximilian Wöber with loan and Samuel Mbangula for initially 10 million euros from Juventus Turin. There are four transfer -free farewells on the departure side, including that of center forward Oliver Burke to Union Berlin. Attacker Dawid Kownacki also left the club with loan.
