VfL Wolfsburg have acquired Croatian international Lovro Majer from French Ligue 1 side Rennes, tying the attacking midfielder down to a long-term deal in the process. The 25-year-old has signed a five-year contract which will make him a Wolf through to 30 June 2028.
Majer, who has been given squad number 19 at VfL, was part of the Rennes team that kicked off their league campaign last Sunday with a 5-1 win over Metz. He made 62 Ligue 1 appearances in total for the French side, twice helping them qualify for the Europa League and scoring eight goals.
“Even more options in midfield”
“It’s no secret that Lovro has been high on our list for a while now,” said VfL sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz. “He is a creative, technically very gifted player who has proved his worth over the past two years in France. He also has plenty of experience on the European stage, having played in the Europa League with Rennes and the Champions League with Dinamo Zagreb, which makes us all the more pleased to have worked out a deal to bring him here to Wolfsburg. Lovro will now give us even more options in midfield – he can operate in the centre but is also a good player to have on the flanks.”
