Wolfsburg is working hard to rebuild after the relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga. The responsible people are apparently also looking at a player who was originally intended for the Bundesliga: Fabian Reese from Hertha BSC. Before the Wolfsburger relegation, the offensive player was linked to the wolves. Several media reported that Reese had agreed to a transfer to VfL in principle, but only in the event of a class retention. Despite the relegation, Wolfsburg seems to have not given up hope of a transfer. According to WAZ and Sky, the Wolfsburgers are still pushing for a transfer of the 28-year-old. It is reported that talks with the player are still ongoing in the background, despite the relegation. Reese is considered an absolute wish player for the comeback mission. The talks are, however, complicated. Reese still has a long-term contract with Hertha BSC until 2030 and is one of the most important players in Berlin. On the surface, a transfer from the ambitious 2nd Bundesliga club Hertha BSC to the also 2nd Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg seems surprising. Nevertheless, there are several factors that make a transfer from the Niedersachsen perspective worthwhile. An important point is the geographical proximity. Wolfsburg and Berlin are relatively close to each other. With the ICE, the route can be completed in less than an hour. For Reese, this could mean that his family can still stay in Berlin. In addition, a family member of the offensive player is said to come from East-Niedersachsen. This could also be a plus point for Wolfsburg in the recruitment of the 28-year-old. In addition, there is the sporting perspective. Despite the relegation, Wolfsburg still has an exceptionally high budget for 2nd Bundesliga. To be precise: the highest budget that has ever existed in the 2nd Bundesliga. According to media reports, the wolves still have around 40 million euros available after the cost-cutting measures. With this, the club is financially clearly the heavyweight of the league. The chances of a direct comeback are therefore estimated to be higher by many than at Hertha BSC, which has failed to make the leap back to the Bundesliga in recent years. Also, Wolfsburg is likely to continue to be in a category that few competitors can reach in terms of salary. The new squad of VfL is taking shape. Fraser Hornby and Elvis Rexhbecaj have already been signed, and Robert Glatzel is reportedly close to a transfer to Wolfsburg. At the same time, several current top performers could leave the club. According to Sport Bild, sales of players like Kamil Grabara, Mohamed Amoura or Lovro Majer could bring in high revenues. With Fabian Reese, VfL would sign a player who would immediately take on a key role both on and off the pitch. Whether the transfer will actually come to fruition despite the complicated situation will be shown in the coming weeks.
