Werder Bremen eyeing Felix Uduokhai

Werder Bremen could be interested in Felix Uduokhai from Besiktas Istanbul. According to Turkish media reports, there have been discussions about a possible departure of the 28-year-old defender from his Turkish club. Uduokhai, who previously played for VfL Wolfsburg and FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga, could be an option for Bremen's defense, which needs reinforcement after the departures of Karim Coulibaly and Julian Malatini and the injury to Keke Topp. Last season, Werder finished 15th in the Bundesliga with 32 points from 34 games and a goal difference of 37:60.

Who is Felix Uduokhai?

The 1.93-meter-tall defender is versatile and can play in central defense, left-back, or defensive midfield. Uduokhai, who was nominated for the German national team under Joachim Löw in 2020, is also injury-prone. After 26 appearances in his debut season at Besiktas, he only managed 15 games in the Süper Lig last season.

Why could Uduokhai fit Werder?

With his versatility, Uduokhai could be an interesting option for Werder, as coach Daniel Thioune has not yet decided whether to play with a back three or four in the new season. The 28-year-old's market value is estimated at €3.5 million by 'transfermarkt.de'. Last season, Werder lost their last four games in a row, including a 0-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund on May 16, 2026.

What's next?

It remains to be seen whether Werder Bremen will make a concrete offer for Uduokhai. If the transfer happens, the former Bundesliga player could be a key reinforcement for Bremen's defense, which conceded 60 goals last season and scored 23 fewer than league leaders Bayern Munich, who finished 57 points ahead.
