SVW contract ends 2026

With Anthony Jung (33, goal open) and Milos Veljkovic (29, Roter Stern Belgrade), two defenders leave SV Werder Bremen free of charge in summer. Even with Niklas Stark, the question of the sporting future is gradually arising. The 29-year-old’s contract only ended in 2026, but his association could therefore only achieve a reasonable transfer this year. Unless, strongly extended and stays on the Weser even longer. Either way: the professional likes to know early on how things go for him. However, there is no hurry for the green-whites.
“I can imagine a lot. I think that if you look at the past few years, they were very successful for Werder – and also for me,” the defensive man is quoted by the “kicker”. There have not yet been any conversations about a sequel, which were planned “at a given time”. It is strong “now focuses on the rest of the season”, he will let everything else come to himself. Nevertheless, “I tend to clarity.”
With Werder he wants an “honest exchange”, after all, the relationship between player and club is “too good that we will not speak openly about it. I don’t know yet, and what the whole thing will look like, I don’t know yet”. The conditions at SVW and Bremen may strongly. “The talks will then show in which direction it goes.” And culminate either in an extension or in an exploration of alternatives. Then it would be “logical that you would otherwise open your eyes, whether you do something else – but we are not that far yet.”

Peter Niemeyer, head of professional football at Werder, estimates the qualities of the “very experienced central defender”. The ex-professional said at “Bild”: “It is true that there were no conversations yet. The moment to talk about the future has not yet come, especially since he also has a contract. We are satisfied with him, see no time pressure.” Niemeyer is certain that “will be an important factor next year”. The right foot was switched from Hertha BSC to the Weser in 2022 and has since played 67 missions (two goals, two templates). Was strongly fit and not prevented by a lock, he mostly played from the start.
