Bremen extend contract of key midfielder | OneFootball

Belgian midfielder Senne Lynen signs a new contract with Bremen after two successive seasons with the club. The 26-year-old joined the Bundesliga side from Union Saint-Gilloise for a reported €2.5 million fee in 2023.

While the Belgian club has won both the cup and the league since his departure, Lynen has been a key player in Bremen’s midfield. Before the defensive midfielder, Bremen gave youngsters Patrice Covic and  Karim Coulibaly new contracts.

"Senne strongly identifies with Werder and the path we have taken here. He has clearly committed to this,” said the head of professional football, Peter Niemeyer. The player also left a very good impression on the new coach.

"In the first few days, I’ve seen that Senne is an intelligent and confident footballer who can provide important impetus to our game from the defensive midfield,” said Horst Steffen. “Therefore, I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him."

"I feel very comfortable in Bremen – both in the city with my family and at the club," said the player after signing a new deal. "We have made very good progress with the team over the past two years, and I am very keen to take further steps with the club. That's why I have decided to extend my contract early."
