Werder Bremen Nears Loan Signing of Serbian Striker Jovan Milosevic Amidst Bundesliga Winter Transfers

Werder Bremen is on the brink of securing Serbian forward Jovan Milosevic on loan from VfB Stuttgart to strengthen their attacking options for the remainder of the 2025-2026 Bundesliga season. The 20-year-old, who impressed with 12 goals in 17 matches on loan at Partizan Belgrad during the first half of the season, is expected to undergo a medical in Bremen this weekend. Milosevic, who made his Serbian national team debut in November 2025, comes as a response to underperformance and injury concerns surrounding Nigerian striker Victor Boniface, who may miss several months due to a potential knee operation.

Meanwhile, Schalke, leading the league, is cautiously navigating the transfer market without having secured a new striker. Sport Director Frank Baumann prefers to wait for the right opportunity rather than rush a deal, reflecting on mixed results from previous winter signings by former head Ben Manga. Goalkeeper Loris Karius has been a key factor for Schalke, conceding just 10 goals this season and aspiring for a national team call-up.

Separately, Hansa Rostock is using upcoming test matches against Arminia Bielefeld and BFC Preussen as important preparation for the second half of the season. Though there is no immediate urgency, sport director Amir Shapourzadeh hinted at the possible addition of a central midfielder as they manage injuries affecting their squad.

These developments illustrate the ongoing strategic moves Bundesliga clubs are making to reinforce their squads during the winter transfer window, addressing both injury setbacks and performance gaps as they prepare for the crucial second half of the season.
