Overview
- The loan to 2. Bundesliga side Dynamo Dresden was completed at the transfer window deadline and runs for the 2026/27 season.
- Both clubs say the move is designed to give Covic regular first‑team minutes to aid his development rather than a permanent exit.
- Local reporting and club sources indicate the deal contains no purchase option and Werder plans to reassess and likely reintegrate him in summer 2027.
- Covic is a 19‑year‑old Croatian U19 international who joined Werder from Hertha’s U19 in 2024, made mid‑teens Bundesliga appearances and won the U19 DFB‑Pokal with Werder.
- Dresden framed the signing as a direct response to a midfield gap and expects Covic to compete for immediate playing time, a move that could accelerate his progress or raise his market value next season.
