Friedl emphasized that he is not actively pursuing a transfer. „It was a difficult year, but I am not looking for a new club with my agent“, said the 28-year-old. His contract in Bremen runs until 2028. In the spring, VfL Wolfsburg was interested in Friedl, but the defender decided to stay at Werder.

Why is Friedl's decision important for Werder?
