Though confirmed some time ago, Greek defender Konstantinos Koulierakis' move to VfL Wolfsburg was officially delayed due to an arrangement between the German Wolves and Koulierakis' previous club PAOK Thessaloniki. The Greek outfit retained the services of the 20-year-old until their UEFA Conference League qualifiers were completed. The player was given a formal roll-out on Friday evening.
Germany's green company team paid a reported €11.75 million to acquire Koulierakis. Germany's Kicker Magazine reports that another central defender is set to be unveiled at the Volkswagen Arena later tonight. FC Copenhagen's Denis Vavro will arrive on loan with a purchase option. It is such that the German Wolves shall react to the (confirmed) departure of Moritz Jenz and the (soon-to-be confirmed) loss of Maxence Lacroix.
Vavro has had something of a journeyman career, but is an old acquaintance of current Wolfsburg personnel chief Peter Christiansen. The 24-times-capped Slovakian international currently maintains an estimated market worth of €5 million. Vavro most recently featured prominently for his country in the German-hosted European championships.
