Wolfsburg reportedly checked transfers for 29-year-old Schlotterbeck from Augsburg and 26-year-old Willemsen from Heerenveen, but both offers were rejected, according to the kicker. Schlotterbeck, currently playing for Augsburg, sees his future remaining in the Bundesliga. The club is seeking a new left-back after restructuring its squad. Willemsen, who moved from Ajax to Heerenveen in the summer of 2025, was also part of negotiations. Wolves are still exploring options for the winter transfer window to strengthen their defense. The club has considered several names in recent weeks, but no signings have been made yet. The search for a suitable player for the position remains a focus for the officials.
