Romano Schmid Could Leave Werder Bremen amid Serie A Interest
Romano Schmid might leave Werder Bremen this summer. Several Serie A clubs are interested in the Austrian attacking midfielder. Talks are ongoing, and a transfer is looking more likely as Bremen tries to manage their finances.
WHAT IS GOING ON AT WERDER BREMEN?
Werder Bremen is open to selling Schmid if they get a good offer, around €15 million. The club needs at least €7.5 million from this window, so selling Schmid, a key player, could happen if the right bid comes in.
Schmid just finished his fourth season in Bremen, playing in 32 Bundesliga games last season with five goals and four assists. Although there have been bids from other countries, Schmid wants a better opportunity rather than a sideways move and is open to staying if no big offer comes.
SERIE A CLUBS PUSH FOR SIGNATURE
Italian clubs are trying to sign Schmid because of his attacking skills and experience. There was interest from the US and Turkey before, but Schmid prefers joining a club in a stronger league or one that competes for European spots.
Werder Bremen had a strong Bundesliga campaign last season and barely missed out on a European place. Schmid was vital to their attack, and his departure would leave a big gap. Bremen is preparing for their next Bundesliga season opener against Eintracht Frankfurt on August 16.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR SCHMID AND BREMEN?
If a Serie A club offers what Bremen wants, Schmid could finish a move before the Bundesliga season begins. Bremen’s management will need to consider the financial gain against losing a player who still has a year left on his contract.
The club will look for new midfield solutions, either by promoting from within or by signing new players. With the season approaching, Bremen’s transfer decisions in the next few weeks will be important for their hopes to return to European competitions.
