The rumors about a change from national player Robin Gosens to VfL Wolfsburg persist. One does not want to comment on this, said “Wolfe” sports director Marcel Schäfer on Monday. But: “It’s no secret that we only have one player in the left-back position, Nicolas Cozza.” The 24-year-old Frenchman, who came from Montpellier last winter for 500,000 euros, has only played six games for VfL so far games – he was never in the starting line-up.
“Of course we’re looking around and hope that we’ll find a good solution in terms of sport and business,” said Schäfer. But one is “convinced that we can also absorb it with the squad”. With Kevin Paredes (20), Bartol Franjic (23), Mickey van de Ven (22) and Yannick Gerhardt (29), VfL have several players who could also play on the left side of defence.

A player of Gosen’s caliber would “of course” do VfL good, said Wolfsburg captain Maximilian Arnold (29). With the departure of former captain Josuha Guilavogui (32), the squad has lost a lot of experience and routine. Attributes that Gosens, currently at Inter Milan, with three Italian cup wins and 160 Serie A appearances can undoubtedly be attributed. A transfer fee of 15 million to 20 million euros, as traded in the Italian media, is too much for VfL. In addition, there is still a stubborn competitor in advertising with Union Berlin.
Meanwhile, David Jurasek is no longer an option. The 22-year-old Czech has been linked with the Lower Saxony side but was unveiled as a new signing by Benfica on Monday. There he signed a contract until 2028, the Portuguese club officially confirmed the transfer fee of 14 million euros.
