Official: Coulibaly departs Bremen for Racing Strasbourg
Karim Coulibaly has officially left Werder Bremen in favour of a move to France, as confirmed by the club this morning.
Racing Strasbourg, Chelsea 's feeder club, has secured the services of the highly regarded German central defender.

Coulibaly established himself as a regular starter in the Bundesliga last season, making over 27 appearances and scoring one goal.
The U-21 international was briefly linked with the likes of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain , but interest cooled after mid-season struggles.
The base transfer fee for the youngster, who joined on a free transfer from Hamburger SV in 2024, is reportedly €20million.
Contrary to initial assumptions, however, no further bonuses will arrive. Instead, a ten percent sell-on clause has been agreed.
To what extent a portion of the funds can be directly invested in new players remains to be seen, given the club's tight financial situation.
