Werder Bremen strikes: 10 million star Mbangula signed by Juve!

In an exciting turn of events in the transfer market, Werder Bremen signed Belgian winger Samuel Mbangula (21) from Juventus on July 20, 2025. The deal, reported by transfer expert Gianluca DiMarzio, includes a base fee of 10 million euros, plus possible bonuses. Mbangula will sign a contract until 2030 and is the second summer transfer for Bremen, after Maximilian Wöber (27) from Leeds.

Mbangula, previously tied to Juventus, received limited playing time last season. Despite a promising start in which he scored a goal in his debut against Como, the Belgian talent hardly got a chance under interim coach Igor Tudor. He played 32 games throughout the 2024-25 season, contributing three goals and three assists, but only started eleven times. Under the new leadership, his operating time was reduced dramatically; he only played in two matches with a total of less than ten minutes. A few weeks ago, a planned move to the Premier League also failed.

Injury loss and change of strategy

The transfer of Mbangula is particularly important for Werder Bremen as the injured Mitch Weiser (31) is out due to a torn cruciate ligament. Mbangula brings the flexibility to be used in both outside positions in the attack, which could help Bremen fill the gap left by Weiser's absence.

Opting for Mbangula could prove to be a smart move. His ability to initiate plays and score goals is urgently needed by the coach and team. In the new season, Bremen not only have to concentrate on the Bundesliga, but also form a powerful team for all competitions. With this transfer, Werder has obviously brought a promising player on board who can bring a breath of fresh air to the offensive.

A look into the future

After the agreement, Mbangula will complete a medical check in Bremen in the next few days and then travel to the training camp. So everything is ready for a new beginning in the Bremen team. With the belief that they have the right knack for talent, those responsible have high hopes for the young winger.

Werder fans can be excited to see what this transfer will bring for the coming season. One thing is certain: Samuel Mbangula has a lot to prove, and Bremen could be just the place to fulfill his potential. Only time will tell how this move will pan out for both sides.
