Frosinone have officially completed the signing of Werder Bremen midfielder Romano Schmid, with the Austria international agreeing a four-year contract. The total transfer fee is understood to be €10m, according to previous reports by Sky Germany.
The transfer was confirmed by Frosinone on 12 August, with the club announcing that an agreement had been reached with Werder Bremen for Schmid’s permanent move.
“Frosinone Football Club announced that it has reached an agreement with Werder Bremen for the transfer of Romano Schmid. The midfielder, born in 2000, will join the club permanently on a four-year contract.”
Schmid, who is 26, arrives after establishing himself as a regular midfielder during his time with Werder Bremen. He made 192 appearances for the German club, scoring 18 goals and providing 35 assists.
The move brings an end to his spell with Werder Bremen, although the announcement did not include further details about the precise structure of the fee or the date on which he will begin working with his new club.
Sky Germany had previously reported that the overall value of the deal would be €10m. That figure is below Schmid’s current market valuation of €15m on Transfermarkt.
The Austria midfielder’s record at Werder Bremen includes 192 appearances, 18 goals and 35 assists, figures that underline his attacking contribution from midfield. Frosinone have now secured his services on a long-term basis, with the four-year agreement confirmed by both clubs.
Schmid was born in 2000 and has represented Austria. His move to Frosinone represents a permanent transfer rather than a loan, following the agreement reached between the clubs.
The announcement makes Schmid the latest player to leave Werder Bremen after a substantial period with the club, while Frosinone have committed to a deal that runs for four seasons. The €10m fee, as reported by Sky Germany, is the central financial detail attached to the transfer.
Frosinone confirmed the signing through an official club statement, bringing formal completion to a move that had previously been reported in Germany.
