Nineteen-year-old forward Kenny Quetant is set to leave Le Havre and join Bundesliga side Werder Bremen, according to reports in L’Équipe. The player has declined multiple contract offers from his boyhood club and is expected to undergo a medical examination on Thursday ahead of a permanent transfer.
Quetant has progressed through the youth ranks at Le Havre, but has struggled to establish himself in the first team, making ten appearances across all competitions this season and scoring one goal. The club reportedly grew frustrated with repeated demands from the player’s representatives during contract negotiations, leading to a breakdown in talks. Le Havre had been attempting to tie Quetant to a professional contract, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement.
Werder Bremen, currently 15th in the Bundesliga with two matches remaining in the 2025-2026 season, are looking to bolster their attacking options. The move represents an opportunity for Quetant to gain regular first-team football in a competitive European league. While the transfer fee has not been disclosed, given Quetant’s age and current contract situation, a relatively modest fee is anticipated.
Quetant’s departure marks a loss for Le Havre, who have a strong tradition of developing young talent. However, the club’s inability to agree terms with the player and his entourage suggests a departure was inevitable. For Werder Bremen, the signing of Quetant could provide a long-term solution in attack and potentially add value to the squad. The move offers Quetant a fresh start and a chance to prove his potential in a new environment.
