Since joining Wolfsburg from Schalke last summer, for a fee of £25.5 million, Julian Draxler has been resurgent. Whilst at Schalke, Draxler was regarded as one of the brightest prospects in German football and was heavily linked with a move to England, with Arsenal heavily interested in the German playmaker.
Draxler’s continued form has carried over into the Euros this summer and has become one of Joachim Low’s mainstays in the team. Due to his improved form Draxler has spoken of his desire to leave Germany and possibly move abroad.
Now, the Express via French Football, reports that Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool are all keen on bringing the German youngster to England. According to reports, however, Wolfsburg will not allow Draxler to leave for less than £50 million.
Wolfsburg had a disappointing season last year, finishing eighth in the Buindesliga. As sporting director, Klaus Allofs said, Wolfsburg will try to keep their two prized assets – Julian Draxler and Andre Schurrle – in an attempt to push for Champions League football next season.
We always say that we listen to everything. That expressively does not apply for Andre and Julian. We don’t want to sell them, we want to return to the Champions League with them.
