Werder Bremen in the goalkeeper dilemma: Zetterer or Backhaus?

Bremen, Deutschland - at SV Werder Bremen, the waves around the goalkeeper position are currently high. There are crucial changes in the coming season because those responsible are thinking about the future of the two keepers Michael Zetterer and Mio Backhaus. Zetterer, who even ran as an offensive player in the last two friendly games and scored twice against Blumenthaler SV, could stand in the competition with the 20-year-old bakery, which is considered one of the most promising talents. But what happens to the number one in Bremen? Kicker reports of three possible scenarios for development in this area.

Michael Zetterer (29) not only shows itself as an important support in the team, but also demonstrated his uncertainties this season. This combination means that Werder Bremen seriously thinks about the role of Mio Backhaus. The young goalkeeper has already received inquiries from first division teams from Germany and England, which will further strengthen his reputation. At Deichstube to read that Backhaus' contract is running until June 30, 2027 it is out of the question.

The challenge of the decision

The decision on the goalkeeper position could not only have sporting but also economic consequences for Werder. Backhaus has the potential to quickly increase its market value, and there is concern to lose a great talent if the club continues to rely on Zetterer. Especially in a change of season that goes hand in hand with the farewell to central defenders such as Milos Veljkovic and Anthony Jung, the sporting management must correctly set the course. Deichstube emphasizes that the squad changes for the decision on the goalkeeper position be determined.

In search of fresh blood, the 21-year-old Keke Topp, who changes from Schalke to SV Werder Bremen after a return for 3 million euros, could also play a role. Topp showed promising services last season and is supposed to fill out the position of Nick Woltemade.

What does the future bring?

The question remains: Who will be the first goalkeeper in Bremen? Zetterer's commitment as a field player shows that you want to deal creatively with the resources. However, it remains to be seen whether this path also offers a solution in the long term. The pressure on those responsible for Werder is growing, not only because of the current uncertainties, but also because of the potential, the bakery.
