With Nicolai Rapp (27), Werder Bremen recently handed over a defensive midfielder to Karlsruher SC, and with Skelly Alvero there may be a new one in the starting blocks. How “L’Equipe“ reported that the Green-Whites have made an offer for the Frenchman. The 21-year-old is due to move to Olympique Lyon in the winter due to a lack of playing time, and the Ligue 1 club is reportedly in talks with the Bundesliga club about a loan. If Werder has his way, a purchase option should become part of the deal, they say.

According to the French sports daily, OL tried to loan Alvero to RWD Molenbeek in the Jupiler Pro League, but this did not correspond to the player’s wishes. That’s why negotiations with Werder are now underway. In addition to SVW, the English second division team AFC Sunderland is also said to have expressed interest.

Alvero moved from FC Sochaux to Lyon in 2023 for 4 million euros and signed long-term until 2028, but only made eight appearances for 426 minutes in the current season. The right-footed player was once again linked to Borussia Mönchengladbach last summer. The 2.02 meter tall Alvero had just completed his first real season as a professional, in which he quickly established himself as a regular. In order to give his career new impetus, he could now move to the Weser.
