Germany international Sophia Kleinherne has joined VfL Wolfsburg Women from Bundesliga rivals Eintracht Frankfurt. The 25-year-old centre-back has signed a contract until 30 June 2028 and will wear the number four shirt for the She-Wolves.
“Overall package has a lot of potential”
“I can completely identify with the aspirations of VfL Wolfsburg,” said Kleinherne. “I sense that the club wants to play an important role and leave its mark in the Champions League, the league and the DFB Cup. The discussions I had with the management, and most recently with [new head coach] Stephan Lerch, also won me over. I know the overall package here offers a lot of potential for me to develop into an even more complete player. In that respect, I’m ready for the next step and to build on VfL’s success of recent years.”
“All it takes to improve our game at a high level”
Ralf Kellermann, director of women’s football at VfL Wolfsburg, added: “We’re delighted we were able to convince Sophia of our concept and plans for the future. With her experience, her remarkable pace and her ability as a player, she has all it takes to improve our game at a high level.”
