Jörg Schmadtke shoots sharply against VfB Stuttgart! The Wolfsburg manager dislikes the current rumors about Joshua Guilavogui.
The starting position is relatively simple: VfB Stuttgart would like to sign Josuha Guilavogui from VfL Wolfsburg in winter. The wolves, on the other hand, would probably not be averse to letting the defensive all-rounder go – after all, he no longer plays a major role under Niko Kovac. What looks like a fairly cheap basis for transfer talks is in reality not quite so straightforward.
In any case, Jörg Schmadtke finds the current actions of the Swabians anything but cool, as he clearly explains in an interview with the Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung: “This chatter about a player from us and putting him in the shop window with a price tag is not appropriate. If he VfB Stuttgart is interested in a VfL player, then he should talk to us. Anything else is dishonest.”
With his statement, the 58-year-old alludes to rumors allegedly launched by VfB that Guilavogui would be available on a free transfer in the winter. Schmadtke calls them “specifically disseminated reports” and rumbles: “This jittering really gets on my nerves. We have already filed that with VfB.”
According to the report, VfL Wolfsburg wouldn’t put any obstacles in Guilavogui’s way, but they didn’t want to let the player go to the supposed ideas of VfB. The 32-year-old is still under contract at the Autostadt until the summer of 2023.
