Transfer targets28 Jun 2027
VfL Wolfsburg bid $35.0M for Elijah Adebayo
The offer went to Luton Town 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.

A fracture rules Trevor Benedict out for 24 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason VfL Wolfsburg will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Diego García asks to leave VfL Wolfsburg
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Jahmai Simpson-Pusey is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

A late step up for Julian Weigl
At 31 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Julian Weigl knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at VfL Wolfsburg, and both men came out saying it was fine.
