Werder Bremen has, according to Polish portal meczyki.pl, already started talks with Tomas Bobcek, a 24‑year‑old right‑footed striker who has scored 20 goals in 30 league matches. The club seeks an offensive boost after finishing the last season with 32 points (15th place) and a record of 8 wins, 8 draws and 18 losses (form LLLDW), scoring only 37 goals while conceding 60, a minus‑23 goal difference.
Who is Tomas Bobcek?
Bobcek currently plays for Lechia Gdańsk and is under contract until 2030. The 24‑year‑old forward contributed 20 goals and six assists last season, making him one of the most productive attackers in the Ekstraklasa. He debuted for the Slovak national team in November 2025 and was on the bench during a 0:6 loss to Germany. His profile matches Werder's need for a reliable goal scorer.
Why the transfer matters for Werder
After the latest result, a 0‑2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund on 16 May 2026, Werder Bremen sits near the bottom of the table and urgently needs goals. A player who already netted 20 goals in a season could alleviate the offensive shortage and help the team climb out of the relegation zone. The potential fee of ten million euros appears realistic given the club's financial constraints.
How the negotiations are progressing
Lechia president Paolo Urfer met this week with Werder Bremen representatives to discuss an offer. While Hamburger SV also showed interest in Bobcek, Werder now seems to have the better chance. Sources say Werder is considering a ten‑million‑euro bid that Lechia would not automatically reject.
What comes next?
If Werder Bremen finalises the deal, Bobcek could join the club in the summer transfer window, adding to a strike force that already includes Kenny Quetant (19) and Cedric Itten (29). The next weeks will reveal whether the 20‑goal striker makes the jump to Germany and if Werder can avoid a season‑ending relegation battle.
