Wolfsburg shortly before the transfer of talent Kumbedi from Lyon!
VfL Wolfsburg is planning the transfer of Saël Kumbedi from Olympique Lyon. An agreement is expected before the transfer deadline.
Wolfsburg shortly before the transfer of talent Kumbedi from Lyon!
The transfer period is running and the squad planning at VfL Wolfsburg is far from complete. Why? There are still small gaps on the right defensive side that need to be closed. The focus of those responsible is on Saël Kumbedi, the talented full-back from Olympique Lyon. How Football Transfers reports, an agreement between Wolfsburg and Lyon is imminent.
Kumbedi, who is only 20 years old and represents the France U20 national team, can play both full-back positions. The offer that Wolfsburg has made amounts to seven million euros and two million euros in possible bonus payments. Negotiations with the player himself are already underway and the decision on his move to Germany is expected to be made at the beginning of next week. This creates a solution that could suit everyone involved.
The competition never sleeps
But Wolfsburg is not the only club that has its eye on Kumbedi. Other interested parties include OSC Lille and OGC Nice. Lille recently made an offer of five million euros to Lyon, which was rejected. This puts the Wolfsburg team in a strong negotiating position and could win the player if they complete the deal quickly.
A move to Germany could be a good decision for Kumbedi, especially after he only played 14 games in Ligue 1 last season and was therefore not a regular player. His contract with Lyon runs until 2027 after he moved from Le Havre's youth team to Lyon in 2022 for one million euros.
Statistics and performance
If you would like to find out more about Kumbedi's achievements, please visit Transfer market detailed statistics. These include not only his total number of appearances, but also goals, cards and minutes played in various competitions such as Ligue 1 and UEFA Europa League. It remains exciting to see whether Kumbedi dares to take the step into the Bundesliga during this transfer period.
VfL Wolfsburg could do good business with Kumbedi and strengthen its defense. The coming days will show whether the change actually takes place and what the Wolves' further squad planning will look like. It remains to be hoped that those responsible will try to resolve things quickly so that the player is available in time for the start of training.
