Alexander Schlager, who is 30 years old, is nearing a transfer from RB Salzburg to SV Werder Bremen. A fee will be necessary for the Austrian national team goalkeeper, as his contract in Salzburg, where he has been since July 2023, runs until 2027. The move to Germany is Schlager's first time at a club abroad, and he is expected to compete directly with Karl Hein at his new club. Schlager is anticipated to be on the pitch for the start of training at the weekend. The goalkeeper has 30 caps for Austria and a current market value of €2.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
