Gosen’s contract with the Champions League finalists runs until 2026, but after his permanent move last summer the German was not able to assert himself and only played three of his 32 appearances over 90 minutes in Serie A last season. So far there have been five goals and one assist in 58 competitive games in Gosen’s Inter balance sheet. The market value of the native of Emmerich had recently been reduced four times in a row, the former maximum of 35 million euros has now been reduced to 15 million euros.

It remains to be seen which of the two interested Bundesliga clubs will eventually win the bid for Gosens. When asked about the rumours, Captain Maximilian Arnold recently announced that access to his format would “of course” do the “Wolves” good. Sports director Marcel Schäfer, however, kept a low profile: “It’s no secret that we only have one player in the left-back position with Nicolas Cozza.” Wolfsburg has now invested around 32 million euros in the squad for the 2023/24 season and has eleven departures.
