Striker Ivan Klasnic will leave Werder Bremen at the end of the season! The 28 year old informed the clubs management of his decision on Wednesday afternoon. General manager Klaus Allofs, who had recently been in contract extension negotiations with the Croatian international, deeply regrets the front mans decision:
“In the last couple of days, we once again improved our offer but he has unfortunately chosen against an extension of his contract here. He had hoped to achieve a different result, as Ivan is an exceptional striker who once again proved his class at this level even following the serious kidney illness which befell him this season. We do of course accept his decision to go in search of a new sporting challenge after seven successful years here along with us and we wish him all the very best for the future.”
