Brighton and Frankfurt Target Wolfsburg’s Patrick Wimmer
VfL Wolfsburg attacker Patrick Wimmer is linked with a departure following the club's relegation to the 2. Bundesliga. Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion and Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt have both been named as potential suitors.
Wolfsburg confirmed relegation after finishing the season in the bottom two of the Bundesliga. The drop to the second tier reduces the club's revenue and may prompt player exits.
Brighton & Hove Albion are reported to be monitoring Wimmer as part of their search for attacking reinforcement. A move to the Premier League would keep the German international in top‑flight football.
Eintracht Frankfurt are also linked to the Austrian forward, aiming to bolster their squad ahead of the new campaign. Frankfurt's interest suggests they view Wimmer as a fit for their tactical setup.
Wimmer, who joined Wolfsburg from Austria, has featured regularly as a forward this season. His experience in the Bundesliga could make him an attractive option for both clubs.
Wolfsburg will need to decide whether to retain Wimmer or negotiate a transfer before the summer window closes. The outcome will influence the club's rebuilding strategy in the 2. Bundesliga.
