Anthony Jung will not extend his expiring contract at SV Werder Bremen. The green-whites announced on Thursday without wanting to go into the coming season without the veteran. The 33 -year -old defender switched from Bröndby to the Weser in 2021 and has since come to 126 missions, six goals and seven templates. Also in this Bundesliga season, Jung was usually set and was 19 times in the starting line-up in the Bundesliga.
“We announced Tony in a personal conversation. With a view to the new season, we want to make a change in the position, set new impulses and also contribute to the further development of the team, ”said Peter Niemeyer, Head of Professional Football at Werder.
“Tony has played an important role in the team in the past four years, has been a regular in our team when it comes to promotion and the establishment of the team in the Bundesliga. So far, Tony has given everything for Werder – and we are convinced that he will continue to do it, ”said Niemeyer. Young is the oldest field player in the Werder squad, followed by Leonardo Bittencourt and Marvin Ducksch (both 31).
“I can understand the step because you were at a performance limit for both players and could no longer be expected, apart from personal sympathy,” wrote SVW fan “Malcom3” in the Bundesliga club’s TM forum. Milos Veljkovic also leaves Werder free of charge in summer and joins Red Star Belgrade.
User “Ramonzerano” said: “I like him very much, such a typical extension player who somehow always plays. The services are always solid or expected with outliers. But then he is also the prime example of a player who ‘takes away the operational times’. Although there is not the competition on Liv. At his age, speed, the expected development, the expiry is actually logical. Emotional, for me, completely wrong. “
