Just two days after Werder Bremen general manager said it was only a matter of "when" Jordan Morris would sign, the club has now announced that Morris turned down an offer to join the club this season.
Instead, Sporting Director Thomas Eichen said that Morris made it clear after "intensive discussions" that he currently sees a future in America. Eichen said Werder Bremen would like to stay in touch with Morris and consider a "future collaboration."
Morris originally joined Werder Bremen on trial at the insistence of U.S. soccer's U-23 coach Andi Herzog. After joining the club's winter training camp earlier this year, Morris traveled to Germany with the full club, where he assisted on a goal in a split-squad match last Friday.
