Samuel Mbangula Makes Permanent Switch From Juventus to Werder Bremen

Samuel Mbangula, a talented Belgium U21 winger, has completed a transfer from Juventus to Werder Bremen. The move is worth €10 million plus add-ons. It’s one of Bremen’s biggest deals in recent years.

TRANSFER DETAILS AND BACKGROUND

Werder Bremen are finishing the signing of Samuel Mbangula. They are paying around €10 million, excluding bonuses. It’s the club’s second most expensive incoming transfer ever. Mbangula joined Juventus U17 from Anderlecht for €300,000 in 2020. He has scored 3 goals in 23 Serie A matches and scored in a Champions League match against PSV, showing his ability to perform on big stages. The 21-year-old is expected to arrive in Bremen on Monday to finalize the transfer and meet his new teammates.

IMPACT FOR BREMEN AND JUVENTUS

Signing Mbangula is a bold move for Werder Bremen before the new Bundesliga season. They finished last season in 8th place, barely missing out on European qualification by 1 point. By adding Mbangula, Bremen look to improve their standing and boost their attack. This deal is second only to their €13.5 million signing of Davy Klaassen in 2018 according to reports. For Juventus, selling Mbangula brings a significant profit as they are transferring a player they developed from a young age for a substantial sum, which could help them strengthen other areas of the squad.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR MBANGULA AND BREMEN?

Mbangula faces the challenge of adapting quickly in the Bundesliga. He needs to make an immediate impact after settling in Italy and performing well in Serie A and the Champions League. Werder Bremen hope his talent can help them climb up the table after their difficult end last season. Bremen’s first Bundesliga match of the new season is against Eintracht Frankfurt, who finished last season in 3rd place. Bremen aim for a strong start and want to move away from the lower part of the table with their new attacking asset.
