Overview

• Werder Bremen and André Silva are in advanced negotiations to convert his six-month loan into a permanent transfer
• Leipzig’s new coach Ole Werner has signaled that Silva is not part of his future plans
• Injuries and recent departures have left Bremen with a shortage of senior strikers and increased the urgency to bolster the attack
• Silva’s contract at RB Leipzig runs through 2026, making this summer the final opportunity for the club to recoup a transfer fee
• His market value has fallen from €5 million to €4 million and his willingness to accept a lower salary are key factors in the talks
