Bournemouth is reportedly interested in Werder Bremen's 18-year-old German and Ivorian central defender, Abdoul Karim Coulibaly. Sunderland and Burnley are also interested in the player. Scouts from Arsenal watched the player in Germany this season, and Werder Bremen rejected an approach from the club during the winter transfer window. In Germany, Eintracht Frankfurt is also monitoring the defender's situation. Werder Bremen has set an asking price of €25-30 million for Coulibaly, who is under contract with the club until 2029. The Germany U19 international has made 21 appearances and scored one goal in the Bundesliga this season. It was reported in February 2026 that Werder had rejected an offer significantly exceeding €20 million for the player. His current Transfermarkt valuation is €20.00m.
