Leaving the Bremen Angle: Ducksch's Exit on the Table

Werder Bremen may potentially facilitate a transfer for Ducksch - Werder does not exclude the possibility of a shift in their leadership role, referring to Ducksch.

Marvin Ducksch, Werder Bremen's ace striker and the current top scorer, might be shifting gears after this season, as sporting director Clemens Fritz has hinted at the possibility. Although Ducksch's contract has been automatically extended due to game appearances, the brevity of discussions about a contract extension suggests an impending parting of ways.

"We're open to discussions if something suitable comes up. We're on the same page about this," Fritz told Deichstube.

A Fiscal Strategy Shift

The potential transfer stems from Werder Bremen's urgent need to generate about 7.5 million euros during the summer transfer period. The club aims to achieve this goal by offloading key players, including Ducksch.

Ducksch, however, won't lose his green and white shirt before the last home game against RB Leipzig on Saturday (3:15 PM/Sky). The likes of Andre Silva, Issa Kaboré, Oliver Burke, Anthony Jung, Milos Veljkovic, and Abed Nankishi will also play their final home game for Bremen.

Enrichment Data

When it comes to the reasons behind Ducksch's potential exit, there are several factors at play:

  • Contract Negotiations: The club has reportedly halted contract extension talks, suggesting a willingness to move on from the 31-year-old striker despite significant contributions over four seasons.[3]
  • Squad Reshaping: Werder Bremen is undertaking a significant squad overhaul, with confirmed departures in the attacking lineup (Oliver Burke and a possible Silva exit). This restructuring has created a void in the attack, leading the club to assess potential offloads like Ducksch, who has become a vital component of Werder's offense.[1][2]
  • Club's New Direction: Internal decisions suggest Ducksch might not be part of Bremen's plans for the upcoming season, indicating a change in strategy or aspirations as the club aims to rebuild and target European spots.[4]

Prospective Interested Parties

As of now, no formal offers have been made, but clubs like Panathinaikos (Greece) and Besiktas (Turkey) have been linked with Ducksch.[4] Other potential buyers could surface as the transfer window unfolds.

The club paid €4 million to sign Ducksch from Hannover in 2021; however, they do not anticipate recovering the full amount from a potential transfer. The eventual fee would depend on market demand and bargaining power, but the club seems open to accepting offers that work for all parties.[4]

Revenue Goals and Key Players' Departure

  • Original Fee Paid: €4 million from Hannover (2021)
  • Release Clause: €7 million (unlikely to be met)
  • Expected Revenue: Less than the release clause, market-driven

Head Coach's Stand

Werder Bremen's head coach, Ole Werner, has downplayed the immediate urgency, stating that Ducksch's summer transfer rumors are nothing new. He stressed that the club will consider serious offers if they materialize, but no concrete negotiations are ongoing as of now.[4]

  1. The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment, as Werder Bremen's financial struggles may necessitate revenue generation beyond the summer transfer period of football players like Marvin Ducksch.
  2. With Panathinaikos (Greece) and Besiktas (Turkey) reportedly interested in Marvin Ducksch, negotiations for his transfer to European leagues could aid Bremen in meeting their revenue goals, similar to the €4 million they paid Hannover for his signing in 2021.
  3. While the contract negotiations between Marvin Ducksch and Werder Bremen have reportedly halted, the European transfer market might offer a suitable proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment, giving both parties a chance to part ways after four successful seasons.
  4. As summer sports approaches, conversations about Marvin Ducksch's transfer business continue, with Bremen open to discussions and considering replacing the top scorer with players who align with the club's new direction and aspirations for European spots.
