“In the course of these talks, no agreement could be reached”, VfL Wolfsburg, in the person of sports director Sebastian Schindzielorz, declared the contract game with Omar Marmoush (24) yesterday Tuesday to be over. So it’s clear: The wolves and their Egyptian attacker will go their separate ways at the end of the season.
Marmoush is at the beginning of a chain of decisions in Lower Saxony, which are now to be made little by little. Next in line is likely to be left-back Paulo Otávio (28). The regional editorial offices ‘WAZ’ and ‘AZ’ learned from advisors that clarification can be expected in the coming days. The clear trend: The Brazilian is also leaving Wolfsburg when his contract expires in the summer.
Apparently, the third in the group of graduates will be Josuha Guilavogui (32). Under coach Niko Kovac, the highly esteemed captain of the past only has the reserve role in his last months of contract. The intensive advertising by VfB Stuttgart in the winter shows that the French midfielder still has a market. The same applies here: Normally, Guilavogui is gone after the season.
continuity in goal
Meanwhile, other VfL professionals are more or less about to expand their collaboration. In goal, Kovac and Co. rely on consistency. Number one Koen Casteels (30) – one of the most consistent keepers in the Bundesliga for years – is set to extend the contract that runs until 2024, as will representatives Philipp Schulze (20) and Niklas Klinger (27), who will be employed until the end of the season.
