Werder Bremen: Birmingham City is interested in Oliver Burke

7 stations in 7 years

“First of all, he will start the summer preparations with us. That’s the current status and I assume that’s the case,” Werder Bremen’s license manager Clemens Fritz said recently when asked about the future of center forward Oliver Burke. Despite the current contract, the paths of the Scot and the North German could soon separate by 2025: According to reports from England, second division club Birmingham City is interested in a transfer of the 26-year-old.

This was reported by the newspaper at the beginning of the week:Birmingham Mail“. Also the “Picture“ now reports on the advances of the championship club, whose squad also includes the former Bremen player Tahith Chong. The attacker, trained at Nottingham Forest, has played for seven clubs in the past seven years and, apart from brief visits to Scotland and Spain, has mostly commuted back and forth between Germany and England. The 13-time national player generated almost 37 million euros in transfer fees over the course of his career, with RB Leipzig and West Brom paying the highest in 2016 and 2017, respectively, when around 15 million euros were paid for Burke.
