Werder Bremen: Fritz will “immediately” announce talks about an extension with Nick Woltemade

Contract expires

The contracts of nine Werder professionals with a total market value of 23.4 million euros expire at the end of the season. This also includes homegrown Nick Woltemade, who played in the last five Bundesliga games after back problems at the start of the season. The 21-year-old center forward has been training with the Green-Whites since 2010, when he was eight years old, and should, if the club has its way, continue his development in Bremen.

“He has done well in the last few weeks and made the most of his playing time. We would like to continue with him. And there will be the appropriate discussions as soon as possible,” Werder’s head of professional football, Clemens Fritz, told the “Picture” at. Woltemade’s recent performances will also be given a new market value in the Bundesliga update on Wednesday.

Above all, the loan to SV Elversberg last season, in which the attacker contributed ten goals and nine assists in 31 third division games and was therefore instrumental in the promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga, brought Woltemade a lot forward. “Nick has developed really well. The loan to Elversberg made perfect sense. “He developed further both athletically and personally,” confirmed Fritz.

Woltemade is one of five professionals in the Bremen squad who can play in the center forward position. Marvin Ducksch has the most minutes played with 564, followed by Woltemade with 204. The Bremen native, who is the second youngest debutant in the club’s history, still has to wait for a goal, unlike Ducksch (3), (2) and Frankfurt -Loan Rafael Borré (1). New signing Dawid Kownacki is also still goalless for Werder.
