VfL Wolfsburg signs Vinicius Souza: The new star is here!

Wolfsburg, Deutschland - VfL Wolfsburg has landed a new coup! As Kicker.de , the club obliges the talented defensive midfielder Vinicius Souza from Sheffield United for 15 million euros. The 26-year-old is expected in Wolfsburg today, where he is supposed to complete a medical check and then sign his contract until 2030. Souza is accompanied by the former player Naldo, who is at his side as a consultant.

Souza, known for his duel strength and team orientation, has a lot of experience. In the 2023/24 season, he played 36 games in the Premier League with Sheffield United before the club descended into the championship. Previously, Souza had already had 38 missions in the 2022/23 season, which demonstrates his skills. Despite the descent, he was described by Spanish media as a "insurmountable rock", which speaks for his defensive. He combined his career at Flamengo with a youth friendship at the time of Real Madrids Vinicius Junior and thus shows that he was networked early in the football world.

A strong new addition to Wolfsburg's midfield

Wolfsburg’s decision to sign Souza is no coincidence. The club has worked intensively to improve its defensive midfield options. Souza will be in direct competition with captain Maximilian Arnold, which should significantly increase the quality in the midfield center. "We hope that Souza can have a big impact on our game exercise," reports Sports.yahoo.com .

The start of the season is just around the door

With the new coach Paul Simonis, who will initiate the performance tests on Monday, and the subsequent training on Wednesday, the preparations are already in full swing. Souza's arrival could come at the right time to optimally prepare the team for the new season.

Wolfsburg hopes that this new access not only brings a breath of fresh air to the team, but also strengthens the team spirit. After all, Souza already had an earlier connection to Peter van der Veen, the assistant coach of Simonis, from her time together at Lommel Sk.

Overall, the transfer from Souza shows that VfL Wolfsburg is determined to start fully again in the coming season. An exciting year is waiting for the fans, and it remains to be seen what the new midfielder from Brazil actually brings on the lawn.
