Luiz Gustavo

Full Story: BILD

What’s the story? Wolfsburg have money to spend and probably feel like 3rd place is up for grabs in the Bundesliga. Gustavo looks set to miss out in the Bayern midfield crush.Does it make sense? Yes. He’s said he doesn’t want to leave but there is precious little prospect of him playing. He is in the mix for the Brazil World Cup squad and won’t want to miss out on that for being stuck on the bench at Bayern. He’s a worthy starter though and would be a big upgrade for Wolfsburg.Is the price right? The talk is of something in the £10-13m region which is probably fair and Wolfsburg can afford that type of outlay.Will it happen? 7/10 – They are at the head of a queue that for some reason doesn’t yet involve Arsenal. If they can show him that his World Cup spot is at risk he might well move over.
