Multiple media: Bremen striker Duke joins the English Championship Birmingham, with a transfer fee of 2 million euros

Hupu, August 6, the latest report from multiple German media outlets, German striker Dukesch's physical examination is expected to be completed on Thursday, when Birmingham and Werder Bremen will officially announce that 31-year-old Malvin Dukesch will transfer to the UK.

Birmingham will pay a €2 million transfer fee, and in addition, the club from England's second largest city will receive a bonus if it successfully returns to the Premier League.

Whether Dukes can adapt to the fiercely competitive Championship is worth waiting and seeing. But why did Werder Bremen let go of its main striker at such a cheap price?

In fact, Dukesch's contract is only one year. This summer is his last real chance to receive an acceptable transfer fee. Neither he nor Werder Bremen had any disguised his willingness to transfer, which weakened their negotiating status.

Last season, he participated in 16 goals (8 goals and 8 assists) in 32 games and scored 54 goals in 134 official games. After Julian Gersman's two appearances, Dukesch can already be regarded as a national team player.

Moreover, even in the Champions League club, Dukesch can get a good salary.
