Red Bull Salzburg trio poaches Werder talent Paul Erevbenagie

Before the season, the 19‑year‑old Paul Erevbenagie already showed his goal threat and dribbling strength, but in the Bundesliga he has so far only received 41 minutes over four appearances. Despite this limited playing time, he was the winner of the pre‑season and quickly came into the focus of the fans, who saw him on the radar as a potential immediate starter. Now a trio centred on Red Bull Salzburg is actively courting the Werder talent. At the same time, Odense BK from Denmark and VfL Osnabrück have also expressed their interest.

The Deichstube report emphasizes that the Salzburg profile signs young players, develops them and then sells them to top‑5 leagues. The Bremen‑born winger fits exactly into this concept. At Odense he would join Julian Pauli, Fiete Arp, Noah Ganaus and Jona Niemiec, meeting four more Germans. Leon Opitz already moved on loan from Werder Bremen to Osnabrück in the summer.

Current Appearances and Market Value

After the pre‑season, Erevbenagie impressed in the DFB‑Cup when he was substituted in after halftime in a 5‑0 victory over Lüneburger SK. On the second matchday he made his Bundesliga debut in a 3‑1 loss to RB Leipzig. In total he has so far only accumulated 41 minutes in the Oberliga, which is too little for his development. Most recently he played for Werder Bremen’s U23 in the Regionalliga. In the October market‑value update his value rose from €125,000 to €1.5 million.

On the right wing he currently shares the position with Eren Dinkçi and Mitchell Weiser, with the latter sidelined due to a muscle injury. Ahead of the international break Justin Njinmah returned after an August injury and logged 23 minutes against VfB Stuttgart. On the left side, top scorer Marco Grüll is indeed in the squad but suffers from muscular problems.

The article was published in the Bundesliga club forum, which besides sports betting also offers advisor support and premium service for player agents. Having been the winner of the pre‑season, the trio centred on Salzburg is now counting on the young Werder talent.
