Werder Bremen sells Karim Coulibaly to Racing Strasbourg for €20m

Werder Bremen has confirmed the sale of centre-back Karim Coulibaly to Racing Strasbourg for a reported €20 million fixed fee. The 19-year-old has signed with the Ligue 1 club, marking the end of his short but impactful tenure in Bremen, where he made 27 competitive appearances. Coulibaly's transfer follows a drop in Werder’s asking price after interest from various clubs during the summer. The sale adds to Bremen’s significant transfer income this period, exceeding €40 million. Both teams have begun reconfiguring their squads, with Bremen bringing back players like Eren Dinkçi and Niclas Füllkrug.
