Union Berlin: Kevin Behrens expected for a medical check at VfL Wolfsburg

Farewell to Union Berlin

The move of striker Kevin Behrens from 1. FC Union Berlin to VfL Wolfsburg is apparently nearing completion. According to information from “SkyThe 32-year-old, whose contract expires at the end of the season, is joining the “Wolves” permanently. The medical check is scheduled to take place in Wolfsburg this Wednesday, after which he will sign a working paper until at least 2026.

As a transfer fee for Behrens, the pay-TV broadcaster is offering a sum of around 2.5 million to 3.5 million euros including bonuses, meaning that for the first time in his career, money will flow from a transfer of the attacker, who has always changed clubs for free . A winter transfer of a striker with only six months left on his contract from Union to VfL would be nothing new: Max Kruse (35) moved in January 2022 for a fee of 5 million euros under these conditions. This makes Kruse the most expensive over-32 Wolfsburg signing in the club’s history, and Behrens would be right behind him if it were completed.

The “Wolves” have one of the weakest attacks in the Bundesliga with 23 goals (Union, Cologne, Darmstadt, Mainz and Bochum are weaker) and are looking for reinforcements for the offensive – although the squad seems to be well equipped on paper. “I don’t want to rule anything out now. The market will still be open for a few days,” VfL sports director Sebastian Schindzielorz was last quoted as saying.

PSG professional Hugo Ekitiké (21) was considered a target for a long time, but signing the Frenchman is said to be financially unfeasible. The reason for this is Ekitiké’s salary expectations, and league competitor Eintracht Frankfurt has made a better offer – a transfer to the Main metropolis is on the horizon. Meanwhile, Andrea Belotti (30) from AS Roma was offered to Wolfsburg, but they did not specifically look into the Italian because he was too expensive.

The focus therefore turned to Behrens. The goalscorer has been storming for the “Irons” since 2021 and contributed 20 goals and eight assists in 105 appearances. Behrens is set, but there is new competition in the person of Chris Bedia (27) and another newcomer: If the signing of Eindhoven’s Yorbe Vertessen (23) does not work out, Mislav Orsic (31) from Trabzonspor is an alternative.
