Leonardo Bittencourt is going nowhere! The 28-year-old midfielder has extended his contract at SV Werder Bremen, revealed Clemens Fritz, head of scouting and professional football on Wednesday.

“We’re delighted that Leo has signed a contract extension. He is a real leader in our squad, has loads of experience and has been through a lot here at the club. His experience really helps our young squad. He took on an important role following our relegation, both on and off the pitch. This season he has also shown how vital he is once again,” explained Clemens Fritz.

“My family and I have felt right at home from the first moment we came to Bremen and Werder. We had to endure some tough times with the relegation, but it's in moments like that where you really sense how a club and its fans tick. The same applies to the incredible joy we had after the promotion, it’s really special here in Bremen. Everything is great on the pitch right now and my family is really happy here. That was one of the biggest reasons for staying, the financial aspects were certainly not as important. I’m really excited for my future here with Werder,” said Bittencourt.

Leo Bittencourt initially joined SV Werder Bremen on loan from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in 2019 and then signed permanently in 2020. So far, he has featured 61 times for the club in the Bundesliga and scored 10 goals. He played 22 games in the second division last season and found the net on two occasions.
