Werder Bremen has turned on the transfer turbo and is actively working on a deal for Polish top scorer Tomas Bobcek, according to Meczyki. This week a meeting took place between Paolo Urfer, chairman of Lechia Gdańsk, and Werder representatives, discussing a transfer fee of roughly ten million euros.
Why is Bobcek important for Werder?
Bobcek scored an impressive 20 goals in the Polish Ekstraklasa and added six assists, highlighting his offensive prowess. Werder, which finished the 2025 season in 15th place in the Bundesliga (28 points, 7 wins, 7 draws, 15 losses) with a record of 32 goals scored and 52 conceded (‑20 goal difference), urgently needs fresh firepower. The injury to Keke Topp, sidelined with a torn cruciate ligament, worsens the problem.
How does Bobcek fit into the current squad?
Despite signing Cedric Itten and the young talent Kenny Quetant, Werder's attacking plan remains incomplete. Former FC Paris player Willem Geubbels was also in talks, but negotiations around Bobcek appear more concrete. His experience as top scorer could have an immediate impact and improve the goal ratio that currently heavily favors opponents.
What does this mean for the upcoming season?
With the next league match against 1. FC Köln at home on 2027‑02‑06 in view, Werder must act quickly to strengthen the attack. A successful transfer could reverse the recent form streak of LLWLW and pull the team out of the relegation zone. If the ten‑million‑euro fee is accepted, Bobcek could join in the winter window and immediately pressure Köln's defense.
What are the next steps?
Sporting director Clemens Fritz is reportedly continuing close cooperation with Lechia Gdańsk to finalize financial details. A medical examination and a personal meeting with the coaching staff are still pending. If everything goes smoothly, Werder Bremen could announce the signing in the coming weeks, sending a strong signal to the competition.
