According to German outlet Sky Sport, Werder Bremen’s goalkeeper Mio Backhaus, who has roots in Japan, is set to be a hot commodity this summer. The 22-year-old has impressed in the Bundesliga, drawing attention from top clubs including Inter Milan and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Bremen, facing financial difficulties, are reportedly open to selling the highly-rated shot-stopper. Local reports suggest the club is prepared to listen to offers, potentially valuing Backhaus at over €36 million. The young goalkeeper’s rapid development in Germany has made him one of the most sought-after talents in his position.
Backhaus has also sparked interest from the Japanese national team, as he holds dual nationality and has yet to decide his international future. Italian giants Inter are considering him as a long-term successor to their current No.1, while Premier League side Brighton are also monitoring the situation. With multiple clubs lining up, a fierce transfer battle is expected in the coming months.
