Eren Dinkci stated that he personally wanted a new stimulus in the winter. He said there were a few conversations, but they never became serious. During the January transfer window, there were increasing reports about Werder Bremen's interest in Dinkci.

Turkish-German attacker Eren Dinkçi, 24, is seeking a new club as he is not part of SC Freiburg's plans, attracting interest from 1. FC Köln, VfL Wolfsburg, and 1. FC Heidenheim. However, according to 'DeichStube', he has a strong desire to go back to SV Werder Bremen, and talks between the club and his representatives have already occurred. This preference is driven by his wish to be nearer to his family, as he does not feel settled in Breisgau. Despite this, a transfer is currently considered improbable since Werder recently acquired Jovan Milosevic and has stated their transfer business is concluded for the time being. 'DeichStube' also reports that Freiburg wants to recover the five million euros they previously paid for Dinkçi. Werder could only afford this sum if Romano Schmid were to move to Leeds United during the winter. This season, Dinkçi has made 8 appearances in the Bundesliga, registering no goals or assists. His market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt at €6.00m.
