Josh Sargent returns to the Bundesliga: Wolfsburg secures top transfer!

The Bundesliga is getting a new addition: American striker Josh Sargent will soon be celebrating his return to VfL Wolfsburg. The move from Norwich City to Wolves for an impressive 16 million euros is now fixed. How OneFootball Reportedly, Sargent, who moved to the English club from Norwich for 9.5 million euros in 2021, became a real showcase project. With a total of 48 goals in 133 appearances for Norwich, his best appearance came in the EFL Championship last year, where he scored 15 goals and assisted a further five.

What's particularly notable is that Sargent's market value has more than doubled in recent years. From his previous price of 8 million euros to his current price of 16 million euros, he has become very popular with scouts. His last appearance for Werder Bremen was in the 2nd Bundesliga, where he scored two goals against Düsseldorf - an impressive comeback that will now be continued in Wolfsburg. Loud Buline News Sargent is scheduled to start training with his new club next Sunday.

A new phase in Sargent's career

Sargent, who previously played for Werder Bremen between 2018 and 2021, has laid a solid foundation with 11 goals in 70 Bundesliga appearances. His return to the top German league could not only have a decisive impact on his sporting career, but also his future in the USA national team. In his four years in Europe, the 25-year-old only made eight appearances for the USMNT - a circumstance that a move to the Wolves could potentially have a positive impact on.

VfL Wolfsburg is hoping that Sargent's signing will bring a breath of fresh air to their attack and will be curious to see whether the striker can fully exploit his potential in the Bundesliga. Given his previous performances in England and the Bundesliga, it is a move that could benefit both sides - especially in a league where talent from all over the world is sought after.

Market and competitive environment

The Bundesliga remains an exciting market for player transfers. Even though the highest transfer fees for players like Michael Olise and Harry Kane are significantly higher, Sargent's move shows that “hidden” talents also have their value. In order to keep up with international competition, clubs have to invest wisely and show a good hand in selecting their players, which Wolfsburg has hopefully achieved with this step.
