For the first time this year, Ridle Baku was in the starting line-up for VfL Wolfsburg in the home game against Borussia Dortmund (1-1) last weekend. Since Joakim Maehle (26) joined the Wolves last summer, the 25-year-old’s playing time has continued to decrease. “Nobody is happy when they sit on the bench or play irregularly,” Baku told “Kicker”. The signs point to farewell.
Baku played the last of his four international matches in November 2021, and since then he has no longer been able to recommend himself for a nomination in Wolfsburg despite the problems in the wing positions in the DFB defense. Its market value has since fallen from 25 million to 10 million euros. “If you want to play more, you have to perform. “That wasn’t always the case in the past,” Baku honestly admitted, looking at the last few months.

The contract of the defender, who was signed by Mainz 05 for 10 million euros in 2020, expires in 2025, so the summer is probably VfL’s last chance for a transfer. “Either you extend it or try for something else,” Baku also knows. According to the “Kicker”, talks about the future are scheduled for the spring, but it is highly unlikely that an extension will occur. Everything indicates that Baku wants to give his career a new impetus elsewhere.
