Wolfsburg Loans Skov Olsen to Rangers as Move for NEC’s Shiogai Nears

Reports indicate Wolfsburg will trigger a roughly €10 million clause for Kento Shiogai to address a shortage up front caused by Dzenan Pejcinovic’s foot injury.

Overview

  • Rangers and Wolfsburg confirmed Andreas Skov Olsen’s switch to Glasgow on loan with a purchase option after the winger fell out of favor under coach Daniel Bauer.
  • Transfermarkt, Kicker and Sky report Wolfsburg is prepared to activate Kento Shiogai’s release clause, with the fee cited between €9 million and €10 million.
  • NEC initially resisted a sale and rejected a first offer, but a clause-trigger would compel a transfer that would rank among the Dutch club’s biggest exits.
  • Reports say Shiogai will travel for a medical and to sign after NEC’s match against NAC Breda, though no club has announced the transfer and rival interest persists.
  • Shiogai, 20, is NEC’s top scorer this season with nine goals from mostly substitute appearances, while Wolfsburg’s leading scorer Dzenan Pejcinovic is currently sidelined with a foot injury and awaiting a full diagnosis.
