WOLFSBURG, Germany — Wolfsburg is interested in signing Germany striker Max Kruse from Bundesliga rival Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Wolfsburg managing director Klaus Allofs tells Kicker magazine that "we are aware that we are not alone" in seeking Kruse’s services.
Kruse’s contract runs another two seasons, but he has an exit clause for a set transfer fee of 12 million euros ($13.46 million).
Moechengladbach has not given up hope of extending Kruse’s contract and will talk to his agent later this month.
Kruse scored the last-minute winning goal that cut Moenchengladbach’s gap to second-place Wolfsburg to four points while delivering the title to Bayern Munich on Sunday.
In 62 matches for ‘Gladbach over two seasons, Kruse has scored 21 goals.
