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.
