Mainz boss on a possible comeback for Malli: 'Completely unrealistic'
VfL Wolfsburg's Yunus Malli, who could be looking for a new club in January, is unlikely to return to Mainz, says Rouven Schröder.

The offensive midfielder joined Wolfsburg from Mainz for €12,5 million in January 2017, but a return to his former club seems highly unlikely. He's simply too expensive, says Mainz sporting director Rouven Schröder.
"Yunus Malli is an interesting player and a very good character," Schröder told Bild and added:
"He would probably be a reinforcement for almost every Bundesliga club. Such a transfer would be light-years away from out budget, so it's completely unrealistic."
The 26-year-old, who earns €4,5 million a year in Wolfsburg, has been linked with a move to Turkey. He has made 10 appearances for 'Die Wölfe' this season.
