Werder Bremen have officially confirmed the return of former academy attacker Eren Dinkçi. The 24-year-old joins his hometown club on a season-long loan from SC Freiburg. As Get German Football News ...
Freiburg's local hero, Eren Dinkçi, has returned to his hometown club Werder Bremen on a season-long loan deal. The 24-year-old German forward, who was born in Bremen, joined Werder's youth ranks in 2019 and made his Bundesliga debut the following year. Dinkçi scored ten goals in ten Bundesliga appearances on loan at Heidenheim during the 2023/24 season, earning the Breisgau club around €5 million.
However, his time at Freiburg did not yield similar results, and he struggled to recapture his Heidenheim form. Werder Bremen will pay Freiburg a loan fee in the low six-figure range, with no option for purchase. Dinkçi remains under contract with Freiburg for another two years. The return of the familiar face is expected to give head coach Daniel Thioune tactical flexibility, as Dinkçi can play on either wing, behind a striker, or as a mobile centre-forward.
Dinkci's potential comeback may be delayed due to ongoing muscular issues, but he expressed his excitement about returning to Werder Bremen, his hometown club.
