VfL Wolfsburg still doesn’t want to admit defeat in the contract games involving attacker Omar Marmoush (24) and left-back Paulo Otávio (28). The ‘Braunschweiger Zeitung’ assesses the chances of an agreement in both cases as rather poor. Nevertheless, according to information from the regional newspaper, those responsible for VfL want to make another attempt to keep the duo through the summer.
Both contracts expire at the end of the season. Both Marmoush, who is said to have been deterred by the previous deal including two loans (FC St. Pauli, VfB Stuttgart), and Otávio have so far not been open to an extension. The former Egyptian was most recently linked to Eintracht Frankfurt. His Brazilian team-mate, meanwhile, attracted interest from OGC Nice and Brighton & Hove Albion in January.
