Phil Neumann’s contract with Holstein Kiel expires in the summer. Although an extension does not seem impossible, it is anything but a safe bet. Accordingly, Werder Bremen is dealing with the defender.
Phil Neumann has been playing for Holstein Kiel since 2019, after coming from Schalke 04 youth and spending two years at FC Ingolstadt. However, the three-year contract signed at the time expires in the summer and there are still no clear indications as to whether it will be a farewell or another contract.
Due to this uncertainty alone, Werder Bremen seems to be concerned with him. He reports that kicker. But also because of his qualities, the defender, who can be used both in central defense and on the right side, would be interesting for the promotion aspirant.
The 24-year-old would certainly have what it takes to establish himself in the Bundesliga even if Werder were promoted. It is not for nothing that he has been an important regular player for Kiel, a team that is fundamentally very strong.
He also has an old friend as a coach in Ole Werner. After all, today’s Werder coach has been on the sidelines for Kiel since early autumn 2019. So he knows Neumann very well and can assess his skills very well.
With a view to a supposedly free transfer, the native of Herten is definitely a personality that the Bremen team will deal with more intensively. But the ball is still in half of the storks, who would probably invest a lot for a contract extension.
