Since January 2016, he is not in the plans of Andrea Stramaccioni, coach of Panathinaikos.
On 18 July 2017, as he is not in the plans of Panathinaikos new coach Marinos Ouzounidis, Wemmer was not content with the appeal he filed to the Economic Dispute Settlement Committee but decided to chase the case even further as he left Athens and returned to Germany, indicating that he did not have the will to settle for €550,000 of his contract.
