Overview
- Werder Bremen confirmed late Friday that Ludovit Reis has joined on a permanent deal after passing a medical and will wear squad number 15.
- Club statements and the coach said Reis is a strong, technical player who can operate as a six or an eight and who will broaden Bremen’s central‑midfield options.
- Reports say the transfer involved no immediate transfer fee, with Brügge retaining possible sell‑on and bonus payments that make the move low risk financially for Werder.
- Reis arrives after a difficult spell at Club Brügge where a shoulder injury and a coaching change limited him to few appearances, and he returns to Germany having played 129 matches for HSV and once captained the club.
- The transfer has provoked angry reactions from some HSV supporters online and Werder sporting director Clemens Fritz publicly condemned the abuse while the club prepares to present Reis to fans at its Tach der Fans event.
