VfL Wolfsburg Prepared to Pursue Kento Shiogai Amid Transfer Negotiations

This week, it appeared that NEC would successfully retain forward Kento Shiogai, as the Nijmegen club demanded a transfer fee of €10 million. However, contrary to expectations, VfL Wolfsburg is eager to strengthen its squad and is prepared to meet the asking price.

According to VoetbalPrimeur, Wolfsburg is willing to pay the full €10 million. Furthermore, reports suggest that Shiogai possesses a release clause in his contract for that amount, enabling an immediate transfer.

In related news, several sources have informed SoccerNews that another NEC player, Basar Önal, has declined interest from multiple clubs. The Turkish youth international, born in Doetinchem, reportedly turned down offers, including one from Besiktas. The Turkish Süper Lig club, currently positioned fifth and featuring players such as Orkun Kökçü, views the winger as a promising addition for the future.
