One person’s sorrow is another’s joy: Wout Weghorst may have been relegated with his club FC Burnley and no longer plays at VfL Wolfsburg at all, but he still gives the Bundesliga club a bonus worth millions.
Bonus payment despite relegation: VfL Wolfsburg receives a payment of around three million euros, as “kicker” reports. The reason for this is a contractually agreed bonus for the appearances of striker Wout Weghorst at Burnley FC, who switched to the Premier League club in January for 14.5 million euros. The club was now relegated despite the ex-Wolfsburg player’s performance.
Short, compact, clear
Weghorst loses his regular place: In addition to the relegation battle, Weghorst also lost his regular place at Burnley. The 29-year-old had only scored two goals for the club in the second half of the season.
One of the most successful goalscorers: Weghorst played for Lower Saxony for three years until January and became one of the most successful goalscorers in the Bundesliga. Nevertheless, the Dutch national player could not assert himself with the wolves in the long run.
