Overview
- Werder confirmed on Tuesday that it extended 19-year-old Wesley Adeh’s contract and sent him on a season-long loan to Preußen Münster so he can gain regular senior minutes.
- The club has signed Cedric Itten and Kenny Quetant but reiterated it still wants to add another striker and that interest in Niclas Füllkrug has largely cooled.
- Data analysis published this week profiles Itten as a powerful penalty-area target who excels on aerial service and will rely on quality crosses and set-piece delivery to score.
- Werder has opened contact with KS Cracovia over centre-back Oskar Wojcik and reportedly made a first offer, though that defensive recruitment remains at an early and uncompleted stage.
- Sporting director Peter Niemeyer says hoped-for sales that would fund further signings are stalled because of agent changes and offers below Werder’s valuations, which is slowing the club’s transfer plans.
