Marco Friedl is leaving FC Bayern to sign permanently for Werder Bremen. The 21-year-old defender has been on loan with the club from north Germany since the end of January 2018. In this time he has made 16 Bundesliga appearances and played twice in the DFB Cup for Bremen.
Friedl spent ten years with the record champions and advanced through all the youth stages at FCB. He also played once in both the Champions League and the Bundesliga for the first team. "Marco has always given everything for Bayern. Now he's taking the next step. We wish him all the best for his future," commented FCB sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.
