With just 37 goals, Werder Bremen had the second weakest offense of the last Bundesliga season. This is set to change in the future, which is why some center forwards were recently traded to the Green-Whites. The most prominent name was that of Niclas Füllkrug, new on the list is Cedric Itten. According to information from the Swiss newspaper “Blick”, the attacker from second division relegated Fortuna Düsseldorf is negotiating intensively with Werder.

Accordingly, a change could come about before Itten’s departure with the national team to North America on Tuesday. According to “Bild”, the negotiations are not yet ready, as reported by the newspaper from Itten’s hometown. The 29-year-old is a topic on the Weser, but the talks are not in a final phase.
Itten, in whom newly promoted Schalke 04 are also said to be interested, can apparently leave with Fortuna for free in the summer after relegation, as his contract is not valid for the 3rd league. With 16 goals in 32 games, the Swiss World Cup driver was Düsseldorf’s top scorer last season. At SVW this was midfielder Jens Stage with ten goals.
Should a transfer take place, Itten would play in the Bundesliga again for the first time since 2021/22. At that time he played twelve games for Greuther Fürth. However, he would not start the season at Werder as a top striker, according to “Bild”, which suggests the transfer of another attacker. In addition to the return of Füllkrug, the Hanseatic League will also discuss Noel Futkeu. The second division top scorer will be brought from Fürth in the summer by Eintracht Frankfurt via a buyback option for 1.3 million euros, but is said to have no future there. However, the SGE is imagining a price tag of up to 10 million euros, which might be too much for Bremen.
