Pongracic himself constituted a rather large purchase for Wolfsburg during the January 2020 transfer window. After arriving in Lower Saxony for a €10 million fee, Pongracic briefly served as John Anthony Brooks' center-halve partner after a suspension delayed his Bundesliga debut during the 2019/20 "Rück-runde."
The emergence of Maxence Lacroix saw him relegated to the Wolfsburg bench.
Pongracic also had issues with prolonged COVID symptoms last year.
