Fulham defender John Arne Riise is set to move away from Craven Cottage after the club agreed that the player could leave on a free transfer. The 32-year-old spent two seasons at the London club making 75 appearances in all competitions.
Reports in Germany suggest that Bundesliga side Werder Bremen are set to sign the Norwegian full-back.
John Arne Riise told Press Association Sport :"Yes, it looks like I will be parting company with Fulham this summer.
"Fortunately there is an agreement for there to be no transfer fee, so let's see what the rest of the transfer window brings."
Werder Bremen's Director of Sport Thomas Eichin also asserted that the Bundesliga outfit are in talks to sign Riise as they look to add more strength to their defensive setup.
He told Germany's Sky television: "I'm talking to lots of agents and we're checking the market.
"Riise is certainly an interesting player and I have always said that we're on the lookout for a left full-back.
"There have been talks, but that doesn't mean anything yet."
