A year later, Wolfsburg remains more determined than ever to recruit Ismaël Doukouré. Last summer, the German club encountered a categorical refusal from Strasbourg, at the time determined to keep one of its best players. Wolfsburg have returned to the charge in recent days, and the situation seems to have changed significantly, since the leaders of the Lower Saxony club have this time already agreed with the international Espoirs (20 years old) on a five-year contract .
As revealed by L’Équipe, the young man informed his management of his desire to leave the Alsatian club this summer, two years before the end of his contract, and would be enthusiastic about the idea of taking on this challenge in the Bundesliga. In this context, Wolfsburg sent a firm offer to Racing, in the order of 8 million euros. Although it has a strong chance of being rejected, this first approach marks the launch of formal negotiations between the two clubs.
Substitute for the second half of the season
With the financial power of BlueCo, the RCSA does not need to sell, which does not mean that the door is completely locked, in the case of a player that Patrick Vieira chose to leave on the bench during of the second part of last season, upon his return from two injuries to his right ankle, contracted in December and then in January.
Doukouré was present on Monday at the takeover of Strasbourg, where he has been playing for two and a half years and his arrival from Valenciennes for €1.5 million. A departure this summer could bring in ten times more in Strasbourg. But it will be necessary to convince his management.
