Wolfsburg have completed the signing of Julian Draxler from Schalke.
The 21-Year-Old is seen as a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne who joins Manchester City yesterday.Serie A side Juventus have had a high subject of interest throughout the summer, but The Italian Champs failed to make up the asking price and deal ultimately collapsed.
Splashing out to sign the World Cup winner for what Schalke sporting director Horst Heldt insists is a massive fee.
“There are two reasons for our decision to accept Wolfsburg’s offer," he told the club's official website. "We will not be disclosing information about the transfer fee, but we can say that it is the biggest amount we’ve received for a player at Schalke.
"Moreover, we have complied with Julian’s desire to move to another club.
“At the end of last season, Julian came to me and expressly said that he wanted to leave the club. I told him that we would consider any offers that came in for him, but I also tried to convince him until the end to stay in light of the new sporting direction that we’re now taking.
“It was clear for us that we would only agree to any transfer if the offer matched our valuation."
As well as the signing of Draxler, Wolfsburg also confirmed that Dante has joined from Bayern Munich on a three-year deal.
