“We very much regret that Eren has decided to leave Werder Bremen. His good performances for Heidenheim and the exit clause in his contract mean it was clear that other clubs would be interested in him. In our talks with Eren, we showed him the role we have in mind for him next year and also made him an attractive financial offer. Unfortunately he has decided against staying with us. We wish him all the best at SC Freiburg,” explained Clemens Fritz, head of professional football at Werder Bremen.
