Alexander Schlager (30) is leaving FC Red Bull Salzburg.

As announced by the "Bulls", the Austria international goalkeeper is joining SV Werder Bremen. The 30-year-old has signed with the German Bundesliga club until summer 2029.

According to reports, Salzburg did not receive a transfer fee for Schlager, who also moved to Salzburg from LASK on a free transfer in 2023 (more on this >>>).

Farewell Without a Title

Schlager played 113 games for the "Bulls" in three years; only at LASK did he make more appearances in goal. In 2023/24, the 30-cap international was also named Goalkeeper of the Season.

However, Schlager could not win a title with Salzburg during this time. He leaves with two league runner-up finishes, as well as two semi-final appearances and one quarter-final appearance in the ÖFB-Cup.
