Werder Bremen is giving Skelly Alvero another opportunity, but the French midfielder’s future remains uncertain. Coach Daniel Thioune was cautious after the XXL test against VfL Bochum (2:0), stating: „Skelly also has the chance to show himself to me.“
How did Alvero perform in pre-season?
The 24-year-old played around 30 minutes against Bochum in the Zillertal training camp. After missing the start of the week due to illness, he joined late and initially trained individually. In the match, he showed commitment but failed to stand out. Thioune declined to assess his performance in detail.
Why might a summer transfer be on the cards?
According to Deichstube, Werder would like to offload Alvero, who cost €4.75 million. However, interest remains limited. His loan to Amiens SC in the 2025/26 season was meant to boost his market value, but the club was relegated, and Alvero received a red card.
What does this mean for Alvero’s chances under Thioune?
After being sidelined by Ole Werner and Horst Steffen, Alvero now has a fresh start under Thioune. Whether he breaks through depends partly on whether a transfer materialises in the coming weeks. So far, his prospects have not significantly improved.
