Werder Bremen has extended the contract of 19‑year‑old midfield prospect Wesley Adeh until 2025 and immediately loaned him to 3. Liga side Preußen Münster. The young player, who has already been named in Werder’s senior squad three times, will gain vital minutes in the upcoming season.

What happened?

SV Werder Bremen announced on July 2 2024 the contract renewal for Wesley Adeh. At the same time a loan agreement with recently relegated 2. Liga side Preußen Münster was signed. Adeh will spend the 2024/25 season in the 3. Liga with the Westphalian club. The arrangement is a classic double‑deal: contract extension with the parent club and immediate loan to accelerate development.

Why does it matter for Werder?

Peter Niemeyer, Werder’s head of professional football, stressed that Adeh had already taken his first steps in senior football as a U19 player. "We are absolutely convinced of his potential. For him it is now important to get more game practice at a higher level," he said. The loan to Münster provides exactly that – regular starts in a competitive league that smooths the transition from youth to senior football.

What lies ahead for Adeh?

In Münster Adeh is expected to play as a central midfielder. Preußen Münster’s coach, Stefan Schmidt, plans to integrate him into the starting eleven, adding fresh creativity to the squad. If Adeh secures regular minutes, he could return to Werder in the summer, ready for Bundesliga demands.

The contract runs until June 30 2025, while the loan is set to expire on the same date. Should Adeh reach 15 appearances during the season, Werder may consider a purchase option – a scenario not officially confirmed yet.

The move underlines Werder Bremen’s continued focus on nurturing young talent and placing them in targeted environments. For supporters it means the next generation is already gathering experience to shine in the top flight later on.
