Werder Bremen secures Boniface: Transfer alert in the league!

The transfer window closed its doors this evening and the Bundesliga clubs made a colorful potpourri of changes on the so-called “deadline day”. Particular focus is on the move of Victor Boniface, who is moving from Bayer Leverkusen to Werder Bremen on a one-year loan deal. ndr.de reports that the 24-year-old attacker is described by his coach Horst Steffen as physically strong and with excellent finishing and speed. However, the striker had tough competition at Bayer in the form of Patrik Schick and Christian Kofane, which is why he decided to take this step.

Boniface is coming off an impressive 2024 season, scoring 32 goals in 61 games. He originally wanted to move to AC Milan, but the transfer failed due to a medical check. Now Bremen are hoping that he will become a real goalscorer, especially in the upcoming season.

But it wasn't just Werder Bremen who were active today. Hamburger SV has snapped up a talented midfielder from Arsenal in Albert Sambi Lokonga. Hannover 96 were also looking for reinforcements and were able to sign left-back William Kokolo from Stade Laval. The development at Eintracht Braunschweig, who were able to borrow Florian Flick from 1. FC Nürnberg until the end of the season, remains exciting. sueddeutsche.de also highlights that St. Pauli is loaning Scott Banks to FC Blackpool and is also handing off young striker Otto Stange to SV Elversberg for a year.

Meanwhile, Marvin Rittmüller is leaving Eintracht Braunschweig and moving to TSV 1860 Munich. And a lot is also happening at VfL Wolfsburg: The club is planning to sell David Odogu to AC Milan, with the transfer fee could be up to 10 million euros. There is also news from Monju Thaddäus Momuluh, who is moving from Hannover 96 to Arminia Bielefeld.

The transfer window in Germany closed at 8pm, but clubs in other countries still have a few days to complete transfers - including Austria until September 6th, Switzerland until September 9th and Turkey until September 12th.
