Overview
- Reports say RC Strasbourg lodged a third bid for Karim Coulibaly on August 18, 2026 after two earlier offers were rejected by Werder Bremen.
- German tabloid Bild reported the package at €20 million upfront with bonuses that could push the total above €25 million and called it Strasbourg's final offer.
- Goal and Sky coverage say Werder have been presented with an improved proposal and that Coulibaly may be allowed to undergo a medical in Strasbourg, though no official club confirmations have been issued.
- Coverage links the move to the wider BlueCo network, describing Strasbourg as a potential development step toward Chelsea while English clubs including Chelsea and Newcastle remain interested.
- Coulibaly's recent switch to Roc Nation Sports and a reported 10 percent sell-on clause for Werder could shape the timing and commercial terms of any deal and affect how Werder reinvest transfer proceeds.
