Goalkeeper Wellenreuther moves to VfL Wolfsburg

Goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther has completed his transfer from Feyenoord Rotterdam to VfL Wolfsburg, signing a contract that runs until June 30, 2029. This move follows the departure of Marius Müller to FC Aberdeen and potentially Kamil Grabara from Wolfsburg.

VfL's sporting director, Pirmin Schwegler, expressed enthusiasm for the signing, noting Wellenreuther's proven quality at the highest European level. "With Timon, we are gaining a goalkeeper who has proven his quality in recent years at the highest European level," Schwegler stated in the club's announcement. "He has played in the Champions League and Europa League, won several titles with Feyenoord, and most recently took on responsibility as captain."

Schwegler added that Wellenreuther's experience demonstrates his ability to influence a team both athletically and through his personality. The former German U21 international returns to German professional football after nine years abroad, having previously played in the Netherlands and Belgium for clubs like Feyenoord Rotterdam, Willem II Tilburg, and RSC Anderlecht. His training included time at Karlsruher SC, and he was part of FC Schalke 04's professional squad at just 18 years old.

"The return to German professional football is a special step for me," Wellenreuther commented, becoming the latest notable addition to VfL Wolfsburg's roster.
