Frank Baumann, Bremen's director of football, told the club's website:

“We have always said that if an interesting player came available, then we would take advantage of it. Nuri is one of those kind of players.

"We are delighted to sign a player of his quality", Baymann added. 

Werder head coach Florian Kohfeldt also added: “I think we all know about the quality that Nuri will bring.

"Nuri has experienced almost everything in the Bundesliga, having won both the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal with Dortmund, as well as having spells with Real Madrid and Liverpool.

"He has the potential to improve us further and gives us another dimension. Nuri isn’t an option for the Frankfurt game, so the fans will have to wait till the friendly in Leer to see him in a Werder shirt for the first time.”
