Cameras have caught the German national team striker departing BVB headquarters after passing his medical. All that remains is for Dortmund to make a formal introduction. Füllkrug's soon-to-be former club of SV Werder Bremen, meanwhile, still have plenty of time to procure a replacement.
Bremen director of football operations Clemens Fritz noted at the pre-match presser earlier today that he and his staff were considering "three or four players" to replace Füllkrug. Werder not only have additional funds to work with following the Füllkrug sale, but also pocketed €5 to €6.5 million via the transfer of Bulgarian midfielder Ilia Gruev earlier this evening.
