Werder Bremen is expected to secure a transfer for goalkeeper Alexander Schlager from Austria. The deal is reportedly set to be finalized soon, enhancing Bremen's depth at the position following the loss of Mio Backhaus to SC Freiburg. Schlager, who has been a key player for the Austrian national team and performed well at the World Cup, will compete directly with Karl Hein for the starting spot. Since Schlager has a contract with Salzburg until 2027, a moderate transfer fee is anticipated. He is expected to join the team as pre-season training resumes.
