Niclas Füllkrug arouses desire in view of his achievements.

Will his club Werder Bremen weaken with an "immoral offer" after the World Cup?

Bremen/Doha – Niclas Füllkrug scores and Werder Bremen trembles.

The new star striker in the DFB sky shot himself into the notebooks of top European clubs shortly before the end of the 2022 World Cup with his brilliant goal to make it 1-1 against Spain.

With every further Füllkrug goal for the German national team, the probability of a change increases – but so does the market value.

There are many indications that the club SV Werder Bremen will weaken in the face of an "immoral offer".

Niclas Füllkrug: "Indecent offer" over 20 million euros under discussion

"Should an immoral offer come that Niclas would also like to accept, we at least have to deal with it because of our economic possibilities," said Clemens Fritz, head of professional football at the promoted,

.

Accordingly, the people of Bremen should start pondering at 20 million euros.

In principle, Werder are planning “also for the new season with the 29-year-old, who is affectionately known as “gap”.

There are no other thoughts at all," emphasized Fritz, but qualified: "But in football there are many things that cannot be planned." The market value of Füllkrug is currently five million euros - still, every further goal for Germany at the World Cup should be worth several million .

Niclas Füllkrug: Will Werder Bremen sell their World Cup striker?

Werder is dependent on transfer income, with a filling jug they could probably rehabilitate the whole club.

In its most recent balance sheet, Bremen presented a profit of 6.3 million euros, but has liabilities of 14 million.

"We are still in an economic situation that does not allow us to declare players unsaleable," said Werder manager Frank Baumann after promotion to the Bundesliga.

Loans and bonds totaling around EUR 38 million will also have to be repaid over the next few years.

This was the only way the Green-Whites could avert bankruptcy after relegation last year.

FC Bayern and England clubs have filling jugs on the slip: World Cup striker had to forego salary

According to the report, English clubs in particular should deal with filling jugs.

With his style of play and header power, he would fit perfectly on the island.

His advisor Gunther Neuhaus is said to have very good contacts in England.

Even the bosses of FC Bayern are said to have asked about the filling jug.

At almost 30 years of age, Füllkrug himself could also be tempted by a new, lucrative challenge, even if he feels very comfortable in the familiar environment in Bremen.

Only last summer did he extend his contract until 2025 – with a lower salary.

It is questionable whether Werder can make him an appropriate offer after his performance explosion with ten Bundesliga goals and the World Cup run (schedule for the 2022 World Cup).

Niclas Füllkrug: Will the DFB striker return to Bremen after the World Cup?

Füllkrug, who is considered to be down-to-earth, is well aware of the situation he and his club Werder Bremen got into with his performances at the World Cup.

"I think Werder is happy, everyone is happy," said Füllkrug on Tuesday's DFB-PK.

However, he noted that Bremen basically sees the World Cup in Qatar “a bit critically”.

"Everyone is extremely happy for me, I get a lot of messages from my boys, also from the coaching team and management." Sooner or later, the messages from management will probably also be about a change.
