Diego Confirms Commitment To Werder

Werder Bremen midfielder Diego has once again confirmed his commitment to the Bundesliga runners up despite yet more speculation linking him with a move away from the Weser Stadion.

“I am not thinking about leaving Werder. I am very happy here in Bremen and am treated very well here. That is important for a player” the Brazilian told the ZDF sports programme “aktuellen Sportstudio”.

The midfield maestro confirmed that other clubs had been in contact with him, although he denied that Barcelona had been in touch over bringing him to the Nou Camp as a direct replacement for Portuguese playmaker Deco.

“I have never spoken to Barcelona” the 23 year old admitted.

Diego was the player that replaced Deco at Porto when the former joined the Catalan giants in the summer of 2004.

Reports this week claimed that Arsenal were lining up a bid for the Werder midfield genius to counteract the potential loss of Alexander Hleb to Italy.

But if Diego’s rebuttals are to be believed, Bundesliga fans will be enjoying his silky skills and sublime goals again next season.
