The Bundesliga club have confirmed the transfer of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879 Under-21 international from The Poets, and the head coach is pleased to acquire another defensive option in his squad 
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/NK-Zagreb-c40070, on a contract that will see him at the club until the summer of 2016. Team trainer, Thomas Schaaf, was keen on signing
a defender and boost his options in defence, and will be happy to sign the youngster.
The central defender is labelled as a sensational player and is considered to have a great future. Big European clubs such as Bayern Munich, FC Zenit Saint Petersburg and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 were monitoring his situation at The
Poets. However, the River Islanders were keen to add him to their ranks.
As a result, the German team have finally acted and secured their target. Moreover, director of football Frank Baumann is confident that the amazing prospect will enjoy his trade at the Weserstadion. He admitted that the
club has been watching the star player for a while now.
"We have been watching Mateo for quite some time,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FC-Nuremberg-c38162 and Werder Bremen defensive midfielder was quoted as saying in an interview.
Frank claimed that Mateo is a player with huge potential and is the kind of defender they needed really badly. The 22-year-old will get his chance to impress at his new side when the winter break ends.
"He is a young, talented centre-back who brings a lot of potential and fits in well with our requirements," the 2002 FIFA World Cup runner-up added.
"He's a big, ball-winning and aerially-dominant centre-half who has good technique,” the former Werder Bremen Under-19 and Under-17 side boss mused.
"With Mateo, we have acquired a player who improves our squad with his qualities," the 1992 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup winner finally concluded.
Tactician Thomas Schaaf is excited to train the Croatian national in January, when he officially will be unveiled as a Bremen player. Schaaf further added that Mateo has great defending abilities and can recover the ball
from the opposition with much ease.
