Overview

  • Werder Bremen confirmed a season-long loan for 27-year-old Austrian centre-back Maximilian Wöber from Leeds United as their first summer signing.
  • The deal includes an option to buy, reflecting the club’s strategic approach to remedying last season’s defensive shortcomings.
  • Wöber arrives after two knee operations limited him to nine appearances for Leeds in 2024/25 and follows a strong comeback with the Austrian national team.
  • He contributes 26 Champions League appearances and domestic titles won with RB Salzburg and Ajax to Bremen’s back line.
  • His prior Bundesliga loan at Borussia Mönchengladbach and the presence of fellow Austrians in the squad are expected to smooth his transition under coach Steffen.
