In the middle of the hot transfer phase, Rudi Völler advised Werder Bremen’s Niclas Füllkrug to pay attention to his chances of a possible change.
This is “important for the national team, for the European Championship,” said the sports director of the German national soccer team at the “Sport Bild” awards ceremony in Hamburg’s Fischauktionshalle.
It is important “that he is used the way he did at Werder Bremen”.
The Bremen striker was the top scorer last season. A possible departure from Werder has been the subject of speculation for months. Füllkrug’s contract in Bremen expires in 2025. The 30-year-old is “in very close contact” with Werder, he told the German Press Agency. He left it open when a decision could be expected.
Füllkrug has made nine appearances for the German national team, scoring seven goals. The European Championships will take place in Germany next summer.
