Youri Regeer joins Werder Bremen in Ajax loan

Regeer joins Bremen having developed in Ajax's fabled youth ranks before joining fellow Dutch outfit Twente between 2023 and 2025 and then re-signing for the Amsterdam club. The season-long loan agreement includes an option to buy.

"We've been keeping an eye on Youri for some time, so we're delighted that the opportunity has now come up to bring him to Werder," said Bremen's head of professional football Peter Niemeyer. "He's a very versatile player who is strong defensively, which gives us additional tactical options."

Head coach Daniel Thioune added: "I saw Youri play live this summer and was impressed by what I saw. He's a well-rounded player who operates mainly in central midfield and reads the game well. He made more than 30 appearances for Ajax in the league and in Europe last season and will add further quality to our squad."
