Bild reports that after several league rivals, including Bremen, wanted Elias Baum in the summer, several Bundesliga clubs now have the German U21 national player on their list for the winter.

According to the Frankfurter Rundschau, Werder Bremen was primarily interested in Baum in the summer, but Markus Krösche blocked a transfer at that time. A permanent departure after the turn of the year can no longer be ruled out, and all options are conceivable, from a loan with a purchase and buy-back option to a permanent transfer. Baum is contractually bound to Frankfurt until 2028.

Kicker has reported that SV Werder Bremen is interested in securing a loan deal for Elias Baum from Eintracht Frankfurt. Bremen's interest in Baum stems from his previous association with their coach, Steffen. Eintracht Frankfurt is believed to be open to the possibility of a loan arrangement. This potential move arises as Werder Bremen encounters challenges in finalizing their squad for the upcoming Bundesliga season. Bremen's sporting director, Clemens Fritz, has recognized the necessity for new signings, especially in the offensive area, and has been actively involved in discussions to bolster the team. The interest in Baum has surfaced while Werder Bremen is also awaiting a decision regarding another target, Isaac Schmidt from Leeds United. Baum, who has received significant praise from Werder's coach, is considered a promising alternative if the Schmidt deal does not come through.
