Canceled option at Derby
SV Werder Bremen have presented another newcomer in Lee Buchanan. The green-whites confirmed a basic agreement with the 21-year-old Englishman. The left-back should come to the training camp in Zillertal on Sunday and sign his contract after the medical check in the next few days. The SVW, on the other hand, has to refrain from the personnel Mitchell Weiser (28)
According to information from thedyke room“ Buchanan is to be committed to Werder by 2025. After a long back and forth, the defender comes from Derby County on a free transfer. An option drawn by the “Rams” to extend the contract that originally expired on June 30th could therefore be terminated by the player due to the change of ownership at the financially badly hit Championship relegated team.

Werder official Clemens Fritz later confirmed that Buchanan would come to the Weser free of charge if everything goes according to plan. “He’s a young and very talented player who, despite his young age, has a lot of experience. We see incredible potential. He has a high dynamic and high intensity in his game. What he brings with him is very promising. But we also know that we still have to give him a little more time,” said Fritz (quoted via “Radio Bremen” in a press round on Sunday). Buchanan made the leap to Derby County’s senior squad in 2019, where he made 75 appearances (one goal, four assists) – 31 of them last season. Buchanan can also move into the center of defence.

Fritz: Weiser purchase for Werder Bremen “not feasible”
Fritz also issued a new water level on the subject of Mitchell Weiser. A fixed transfer of the loan player from Leverkusen to the Hanseatic city seems off the table. Fritz said: “We assume that this cannot be implemented.” The people of Bremen are looking for alternatives.
There had been discussions between the clubs about the right-back for weeks, pushing the ball back and forth. Recently, however, Werder’s sports director Frank Baumann had made it clear that he had a tendency to say goodbye.
