Werder Bremen chases Tom Krauss: Does Cologne take the race for talent?

Bremen, Deutschland - The interest of Werder Bremen to Tom Krauss from 1st FSV Mainz 05 causes excitement among the fans.

The young player was transferred from RB Leipzig to Mainz in the summer of 2023 for five million euros and has a contract until summer 2027. His market value will be estimated at four million euros.
