Bremen's Star Forward Stays Put
Marvin Ducksch, the focal figure of Werder Bremen, has declared his intention to stick around at the club for another campaign, according to recent reports in "Kicker" magazine. The 30-year-old forward, hailing from Dortmund, will therefore embark on his fourth spell with the Northern Germans.
Recent speculation has swirled around Ducksch, with Saudi Arabian and Qatari clubs reportedly interested in his services. With the transfer window drawing to a close this coming Friday evening, there's been much buzz surrounding the midfielder.
For Ole Werner, Ducksch is an indispensable component of his squad. In the year 2022, he led the charge by scoring 20 goals, significantly contributing to Bremen's promotion. He formed a lethal partnership with Niclas Füllkrug, missing only one match in the subsequent two Bundesliga seasons and netting 12 goals in each campaign.
However, whispers of Ducksch considering a move to a foreign club have circulated. Bremen, renowned for its Bremen Town Musicians, has been Ducksch's football home for many years.
