Maximilian Philipp joins Werder Bremen

“Due to the upcoming loan of Oliver Burke, the sporting necessity and the economic opportunity has arisen, which we had to react to. We are pleased that we were able to sign Maximilian. He brings plenty of experience with over 130 Bundesliga appearances and will make us more flexible in attack. He has not had the easiest of times in Wolfsburg of late, but we are optimistic that he will show his quality with us,” said Clemens Fritz, director of scouting and professional football.

Ole Werner was also pleased with the new signing. “Maximilian is a really good footballer, who can play in attacking midfield or as a second striker. This signing gives us further options in our attacking play.”

Maximilian Philipp looked forward optimistically to his new challenge on the Weser. “Werder is a great club. I am looking forward to the task and the chance to be able to play for Werder. I want to help the team and get more playing time again. I know that there is a lot of competition for places, but I am up for the challenge and want to play my part in Werder continuing to play such successful football.”

The 28-year-old has played 137 games in the Bundesliga for Freiburg, Dortmund and Wolfsburg, scoring 27 times. He ran out for Dynamo Moscow from 2019-2021, making 29 appearances and finding the back of the net on 9 occasions. The new signing will wear the number 17 shirt at Werder.
