Confusion over Julian Draxler's Wolfsburg future
Wednesday 23 November 2016 10:42, UK
Wolfsburg will not be listening to offers for Julian Draxler this winter, according to director of sport Klaus Allofs.
However, he has admitted the midfielder could "potentially" leave the club at the end of the season.
Draxler tried to force a transfer during the summer when he told German newspaper Bild he was intent on leaving, but Wolfsburg released a statement reminding the player of his contractual obligations.
The 23-year-old is tied to the Wolves until 2020, although he does have a release clause in that deal which can be activated from 2017.
"There is no need to talk about it," Allofs told the dpa agency.
"I am quite sure that Julian Draxler is not going to say something like that again."
However, in a separate interview, Allofs left the door open to Draxler moving on next summer.
"The story doesn't help him, or Wolfsburg. It was catastrophic for the player," Allofs told German TV channel Sport1.
"We may evaluate the situation differently, and may do things differently next time.
"Does this mean letting him leave? Potentially."
Draxler has just returned to training after missing their last two games with a muscular injury. He is in line for a comeback in their relegation battle at Ingolstadt on Saturday.
With just two wins all season, Wolfsburg are only four points above the Bavarians, who are in the bottom two.
