VfL Wolfsburg bid $28.3M for Jorge De Frutos
The offer went to Rayo Vallecano this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

VfL Wolfsburg rebuffed over Christoph Baumgartner
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. RB Leipzig have kept their man, and VfL Wolfsburg go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

No deal for Pascal Stenzel at that price
VfL Wolfsburg offered $6.8M; VfB Stuttgart said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

VfL Wolfsburg go back to the board over Christoph Baumgartner
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $33.9M — a club that wants Christoph Baumgartner enough to be asked twice.
