Leo Bittencourt's contract is expiring. Peter Niemeyer said that Bittencourt is a very important player for the team and gives the team a lot of energy when he comes in. They want to wait for the season to unfold to see if and how an extension makes sense. It is quite possible that the duo will have to look for jobs next summer.

Leonardo Bittencourt might leave Werder Bremen in the coming summer. According to Werder's sporting director Peter Niemeyer, there is no urgent need for discussions since Bittencourt has a contract beyond the summer. Discussions about his role for the next year will take place after the season ends. Bittencourt is currently unhappy with his role in the team, having been a regular starter throughout his career but now finding it difficult to accept a lesser role. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 2.00m euros.
