According to media reports, attacking player Maximilian Philipp is about to return to SC Freiburg.
The talks between VfL Wolfsburg and the Breisgauers are “well advanced”, reported the “kicker”.
According to information from the “Badische Zeitung” and the “Bild” newspaper, the 29-year-old is expected to have a medical check-up at the Baden Bundesliga soccer club at the beginning of the new week.
The Europa League participant is still looking for reinforcements for the offensive. Freiburg’s sports director Jochen Saier announced on Saturday after the 2-1 win at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim that something would happen “soon”. The only new signing for the SC Freiburg offensive so far, Junior Adamu, missed the start of the season due to a patellar tendon injury.
Philipp had already played for Freiburg from 2013 to 2017 under coach Christian Streich. In Wolfsburg on Saturday he was missing in the 2-0 win against newly promoted 1. FC Heidenheim. Lower Saxony had already loaned the offensive player to Werder Bremen for the second half of last season.
