Klaus Allofs spoke at the beginning of training camp in Donaueschingen about a few details on the intensive negotiations in the past week revolving around Brazilian midfielder Wesley. "His agents were in Bremen and we tried over three very difficult days to get everything lined up," said Allofs, who confirmed that the transfer rights to Wesley are owned by various parties. The partners in talks last week had 40 percent of them. "We would have an agreement for that portion. Now we have to wait and see what that delegation achieves in Brazil with FC Santos," said Allofs.
Allofs knows that Werder must remain patient. "FC Santos do not really want to give up this player. That was so in the past and it has not changed until now. We have to accept that, and I can understand it. They are currently playing their championship and have two important games in the Copa Libertadores, the South American Champions League, coming up. Nobody would want to lose such an important player," said Allofs. "But the fact is that the player absolutely wants to come to Europe. And we want 100 percent of the transfer rights."
Despite having to be patient, Allofs believes Werder have decent chances. "We have a strong team right now. That is the case with the acquisition or the failure to acquire Wesley. But he is one of the most interesting players we have our eyes on. He would be the type of player who we do not have on our roster. He could add a new element to our game," said Allofs.
