"Tim Oermann is a very talented and versatile player who represents the strengthening of our squad over the long term. He has already demonstrated his ability in 50 Bundesliga matches. We are happy that we have been able to achieve a sensible agreement for everybody involved," said Bayer 04 sporting managing director Simon Rolfes on the deal with the pacy defender. "The loan to Graz gives Tim the opportunity to further improve in a top team and also gain important international experience which will be a very good starting point for him at Bayer 04 over the long term."
Sturm Graz retained their league title at the weekend and have thereby qualified for the play-offs in the Champions League. Oermann will definitely gain international experience at the highest level with the top Austrian club. "It's a great arrangement for me," said Overman over his move that will bring him to Bayer 04 next year. "Graz are very ambitious, that and the level of the club will help me. I'm already looking forward to being able to show my ability at one of the best clubs in Germany in a year’s time." The 1.89 metre tall Oermann is set to join the Germany squad for the U21 European Championship finals in Slovakia from 11 to 28 June.
