Maximilian Eggestein: 'In football, you never know what's going to happen'
Maximilian Eggestein has discussed his situation at Werder Bremen in an interview with Kicker.
Maximilian Eggestein says he has no plans of leaving Werder Bremen, although he doesn't want to rule out anything.
"In football, you never know what's going to happen. In general, I don't think our squad for the new season is complete yet. We'll see who else comes and who else leaves. But I'm not thinking about saying goodbye, and I haven't had contact with any other clubs," the midfielder told Kicker.
Eggestein caught the eye with his performances in the 2018/19 season and was linked with a move away from the club, but opted to stay and extend his contract at Weserstadion instead.
Although the past campaign didn't go as expected for Werder and Eggestein, the 23-year-old insists he doesn't regret not taking the next step in his career last summer.
"You could philosophize about that now, but I don't. I'm not unhappy with my situation. On the contrary, I'm still happy at Werder, and I'm doing everything I can to ensure that the coming season will go better for the club and me personally.
"I've always believed that having a career plan doesn't make any sense. I always want the greatest possible success with my team in the here and now. It doesn't help to think about what could have happened a year ago or what could happen in a year's time," said Eggestein.
Eggestein's contract with Werder expires in 2023.
