After resisting all summer, and then succumbing to offers made by Inter and Manchester City respectively for Ivan Perisic and Kevin De Bruyne, Wolfsburg, in the person of the sports director Klaus Allofs, gave his version of the events on two of the noisiest rumors of this transfer market: “We could have said ‘no’, but then there are situations where you have to think about other opportunities: this is something that we always do.”

You can’t say “no” when the player wants to leave. Keeping them at the club is bad for the player, the club and for everyone involved in the transfer.
He did us a solid by signing Draxler. Jube got Hernanes out of it but with Draxler they would have been too overpowered.
What other opportunity?
Draxler
De bruyne and peresic gone for one player? Not really an opportunity
Ur absolutely right. Dont forget they still got cash for another 2 quality signings maybe.. i admire Wolfsburg i gotta say.
Is the german league transfer window still open?
No, it closed 4 hours before the Italian window.
They got Dante as well
Oh yeah. Forgot about him 😀
