Werder Bremen Secures Romano Schmid's Extension Amid Transfer Buzz
In a move to keep their promising midfielder, Werder Bremen has extended the contract of Romano Schmid before its scheduled end. The Green-Whites made the announcement on a Wednesday evening without disclosing the length of the new deal. The 23-year-old Austrian has been an integral part of the North Germans' squad since joining in 2020, establishing himself as a regular starter.
Clemens Fritz, Werder Bremen's head of soccer, spoke highly of Schmid, praising his development and potential for further growth. "Romano has shown remarkable improvement with us. He made his senior debut for Austria during his time at Werder, and we believe he has not yet reached his peak."
Initially joining Werder from RB Salzburg in January 2019, Schmid had a short stint at Wolfsberger AC on loan before returning to the Weser Stadium in 2020. In less than two years, the versatile midfielder has played 103 competitive games for Werder Bremen.
Unfortunately, just as Schmid's future at Werder Bremen was looking bright, he was ruled out of a crucial match against Bayern Munich due to a muscular injury. His absence is significant as it adds to a wave of injuries striking the Werder Bremen squad, affecting their performance and prospects in the upcoming match.
