In recent interviews with Germany's "Sport Bild" tabloid and Bremen's "Deichstube" fan-site, SV head-of-player licensing Clemens Fritz has expressed the hope that the Hamburg-native will be back in Hanseatic green in time for next season. Njinmah's loan-agreement with Dortmund expires after the season. In the separate interviews, Fritz referred to the versatile attacker as "an incredible weapon" who has "developed superbly".
With an estimated market worth of €700,000 in the latest transfermarkt listings, Njinmah is among the most valuable players currently active in Germany's third professional footballing flight. Sport Bild reports that there is actually a purchase clause built into Njinmah's loan contract that will allow Dortmund to secure the player permanently for only €1 million.
The tabloid further reports that SV sporting director Frank Baumann has already met with counterpart Sebastian Kehl to discuss the player's future. Njinmha's own preferences will obviously play a role in whether he wishes to return to Bremen or take his chances on a much more talent-stacked club. Fritz's words effectively guarantee him a shot at regular playing time, while the depth chart in Dortmund may stymie his prospects.
