SV Werder Bremen have extended Christian Groß’s contract. The U23 captain has been training with the first team since the beginning of pre-season and has been convincing with his performances in the Bundesliga. “Grosso has absolutely earned this extension with his performances in the last few weeks and months. He has showed us how good he is in both training and in matches so it was clear to us very quickly that we wanted to keep him around. We have therefore reached an agreement for him to continue his playing career here at Werder,” explained sporting director Frank Baumann.
