Max Kruse is now on the market! VfL Wolfsburg confirmed that an early and amicable termination of the contract had been agreed with the offensive player.

Originally, Kruse’s working paper for the wolves was dated until the end of the season. However, since the veteran of Niko Kovac had been sorted out in the first half of the season, a separation this winter was considered likely.

Wolfsburg’s sports director Marcel Schäfer emphasized that it was decided “in open and honest discussions” with Kruse that a contract termination “is best for everyone involved”. “We wish Max all the best on his further path,” said the ex-professional in parting.

The kicker had previously reported that the wolves refused to pay the attacker’s salary in full until the summer. Apparently, Kruse has given up a few euros in order to be able to leave the club. From January 1st, 2023 he can join a new club free of charge – but there are not yet any concrete rumors about interested parties.
