Werder Bremen having to 'weigh the pros and cons' of moving forward of west ham united Niklas Fulkrug this summer, even if he is available on a free transfer.
BILD covers 33 years old today And explain how his former club will not blindly rush to sign the striker this summer.
Werder weigh up West Ham flop
The newspaper reports that Werder Bremen have been discussing a move for Nicklas Fulkrug since the January transfer window. That never happened at the time, as he joined AC Milan on loan, but now he is in the news again.
Werder are looking for a prolific striker, a requirement that Fulkrug fulfills. But no transfer is concrete at this time.
While the West Ham striker is on Werder's radar, he is not among the top contenders. For starters, it's not clear what West Ham want from him.
His current deal runs until 2028 There has been talk of a free transfer Only the arrangement to withdraw his wages from the books of accounts.
But Werder thinks that's not possible. And even if the Hammers approve, Fulkrug would need to make significant financial sacrifices to make the move. The vendor will not be able to pay even one third of its current package.
positive and negative
He also has an 'extensive injury history' to consider. Fulkrug has missed 28 Premier League games in one and a half years at West Ham. He was injury free with 20 appearances for Milan, but produced 'weak' statistics.
Signing him could be controversial, especially after other failed risky transfers in recent years.
Werders, on the other hand, value their leadership qualities. He could be important for a young Bremen team next season. But the question is whether these positives outweigh the other negatives.
The German side now needs to consider its options. Do they take the risk, or do they target someone else? That is the question they will have to answer in the coming weeks.
