Werder reportedly keen to keep Füllkrug after loan

Werder Bremen reportedly want Niclas Füllkrug to stay beyond his current loan from West Ham, but there is no permanent move in motion in Sport Witness's account. The outlet says Werder have not held talks with him and do not have a purchase option.

Füllkrug has scored five times in six matches for Werder, according to Sport Witness. The outlet says his West Ham contract runs until 2028 and his salary may be an obstacle for Bremen. Sky Deutschland, cited by Sport Witness, describes his future as ‘completely open’. Good form has given Werder a reason to look ahead, but there is still no agreement on what happens after the loan.
