Werder Signals Need for Sales as Stage, Coulibaly and Njinmah Remain Available

The club says transfer fees are essential to its summer plans because it will only approve moves that meet its valuation demands.

Overview

  • Werder has confirmed it needs summer transfer revenue and is actively monitoring Jens Stage, Karim Coulibaly and Justin Njinmah as its main sale candidates.
  • Jens Stage was the club's top scorer last season and attracted bids that Werder rejected after setting an asking price near €14 million; Hoffenheim’s signing of Nathan de Cat has cooled that move and no formal offer from FC Copenhagen has materialised.
  • Karim Coulibaly is viewed inside and outside the club as the most valuable asset with media speculation of fees in the €30–40m range but no concrete bids have been reported.
  • Justin Njinmah is linked by media to English clubs including Hull City and Southampton, trained individually at Werder because of a minor knock, and finished last season with 33 appearances and five goals.
  • Sporting director Clemens Fritz and coach Daniel Thioune say transfer decisions will be club-led and pragmatic, and Werder has signalled that incoming fees will shape further signings and potential replacements.
