Wolfsburg Explores Loan Deal for Leverkusen’s Belocian to Strengthen Defense

The Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung reports that VfL Wolfsburg is looking to Bayer Leverkusen to help resolve their central defensive challenges. A potential solution that could benefit both Bundesliga clubs involves a loan transfer of French center-back Jeanuël Belocian.

According to Get German Football News in a recent transfer update, Wolfsburg currently lacks the financial resources to secure established talent for their central defense. Although the team conceded only one goal in their recent Bundesliga match against Köln, they have allowed a total of 42 goals this season, which is on par with the notoriously weak defenses of Eintracht Frankfurt and bottom-placed 1. FC Heidenheim.

Meanwhile, newly signed goalkeeper Jonas Omlin and returning midfielder Exequiel Palacios have been included in Leverkusen’s Champions League squad for the knockout phase. Palacios’ return has resulted in Belocian losing his spot on the squad. The 20-year-old has made 11 appearances for die Werkself this season, but has only started four matches across the league and cup competitions.
