“Tim has become a key performer in a short space of time at Sturm Graz and also gained valuable experience in the Europa League. We’re taking that into account by recalling him from his loan. Given his advances in recent months, Tim can already be a valuable player for Bayer 04 this season,” said Simon Rolfes, managing director sport.
Oermann also spoke of his delight at the decision: “I’d prepared myself for a whole year in Austria and was very pleased with my standing at Graz. For Bayer 04 to now bring me back much earlier than planned shows me that I’m on the right track. All my heart and energy now belong to the Werkself.”
