Werder Bremen are reportedly planning to sell young defender Karim Coulibaly for a club record fee in the summer with Premier League clubs keen.

According to BILD, Bremen are hoping to take advantage and cash-in on Coulibaly in a deal that could completely change the club’s financial outlook.

Bremen will demand a fee of around £42 million, which would be their record sale, eclipsing Diego’s move to Juventus in 2009.

It’s understood that several Premier League, Ligue 1, and Serie A sides are interested in signing the youngster.
