Names England, Spain & Italy
It “would be the wrong step” to think about rumors of a change, said Ridle Baku (24) from VfL Wolfsburg recently in an interview with Transfermarkt. A farewell to the “wolves” is “really not an issue” for him. However, should a top offer come in for the national player, he would at least deal with how he is now the “picturerevealed. “If someone comes in the summer and puts an immoral sum on the table, then you think about it and then deal with it,” Baku is quoted as saying.

With a market value of 20 million euros, the second most valuable professional in the VfL squad is “not a friend of making promises”. As he said in the Transfermarkt interview, he would “respect” his contract, which runs until 2025. Nevertheless, the right-footed player has been playing in the Bundesliga for “a long time”, where he has made 111 appearances with 36 goals so far. “It makes you think about where you might want to play in the future. I’m open. Going abroad is also an option for me.” The native of Mainz named the Premier League as well as Spain and Italy as possible destinations. He could imagine being active there.

So far in his career, Baku has only been in Germany, where he trained at Mainz 05 and became a professional before moving to Wolfsburg in 2020, where he reached his career high of 25 million euros. “I think other clubs also noticed that I made a good development in Wolfsburg,” said Baku, who, however, lost 5 million euros in the last market value update. He also makes “no secret” of wanting to play for a top international club. “You never know what’s going to happen.”
A sentence that can also be projected onto the development of the club. After fourth place last season, the “Wolves” are in the lower regions of the table this season and have an eight-point lead over the non-relegation zone with five games to go. There are ten points for the European Cup places and a significantly worse goal difference compared to the competition. “You can say that maybe you were a bit fed up from the previous season and made one or two percentage points less. You have to admit that to yourself to a certain extent,” explained Baku. At the end of the season, Wolfsburg will face BVB and the German record champions, among others.
