Overview
- Werder sporting director Clemens Fritz told local media that a mutual contract termination for Skelly Alvero is not being considered.
- The 24-year-old has not played for Werder’s first team this season and has repeatedly featured for the club’s U23 side to regain match practice at his own request.
- Werder confirmed Alvero sustained a calf injury that will keep him out until further notice and that he left training limping in civilian clothes.
- Media coverage and club sources regard Alvero as a probable candidate to leave in the winter window, but his injury plus a contract running through 2028 and the original €4.75 million transfer fee complicate an immediate exit.
- Alvero joined from Olympique Lyon, has about 20 Bundesliga appearances since 2024 and endured an unsuccessful loan to Amiens that ended in relegation, which helps explain why both club and player are weighing a move next transfer window.
