Weiser Signs Performance‑Linked Deal to Remain at Werder

The club moved pay into bonuses to limit financial exposure after his knee injury, signaling cautious confidence in his return.

Overview

  • The club announced Saturday that Mitchell Weiser has signed a new contract and will stay at Werder Bremen beyond the end of his expiring deal in June 2026.
  • Multiple outlets report the agreement is intended to run to summer 2027, with some sources saying there is a one‑year option and others saying no automatic extension exists.
  • The new deal reduces Weiser’s guaranteed base pay and increases performance-related bonuses so Werder limits fixed costs while keeping the player on the roster.
  • Weiser missed the entire 2025/26 season after a cruciate ligament rupture, and both club officials and the player have expressed optimism about his rehabilitation and involvement in preseason.
  • Weiser joined Bremen on loan in 2021 and was signed permanently in 2022; he has 123 appearances with 14 goals and 29 assists, and the deal lets Werder retain experience while managing injury risk.
