Bremen – Now things are getting serious: SV Werder Bremen would like to sign Niklas Stark from Hertha BSC. According to information from the DeichStube, those responsible for Werder are fighting hard to convince the 27-year-old to move to the Weser. The “image” had first reported about it. However, a transfer from Laszlo Benes is not an issue. The Bremen team had their eye on the midfielder from Borussia Mönchengladbach a long time ago, but the interest is no longer current.
Completely different in this case Niklas Stark. The central defender is at the top of Bremen’s wish list. After seven years at Hertha BSC Berlin he lets his contract expire and can free transfer walk. That makes the former national player (three appearances) interesting for many clubs. Several Bundesliga clubs are said to have already knocked on Stark’s door, and there are also interested parties from abroad. Yet Werder Bremen is apparently not impressed by this and is said to have a good chance of making the transfer race.

As with Amos Pieper.

In 2019, things went so well for the 2017 U21 European champion that national coach Joachim Löw brought him into the national team and made two appearances. However, Stark has not been part of the DFB squad since November 2020.
at Hertha BSC Berlin On the other hand, he was still a fixture and, as vice-captain, also one who often faced the media. And at the capital club there was a lot of need for explanation, because there was a lot of unrest. “I’ve been through good phases, I’ve been through bad phases. The last two or three years have been really difficult.” Niklas Stark after the 2-0 victory in the relegation at Hamburger SV, which meant relegation. In the final phase, the defender was substituted on and was directly involved in the small Berlin miracle.
