"We've desperately needed new talent, and I think we found a diamond in the rough." Porter states about his new signing

Wolfsburg are reported to have paid €2,000,000 for the Mexican midfielder's services. Jonathan is to wear the no.13 for the club.

Fernandes is expected to challenge gaffer Christian Trasch for the right back position, but Trasch has been impressive so far and is looking to book a ticket to Brazil.

Wolfsburg planning to sell Ivica Olic

Ivica Olic is considered the first choice striker for Wolfsburg. He has provided them with 14 goals in the league last season, but he is also old at 33 years of age. The club is believed to want to start backup Bas Dost who has netted 4 league goals last season in 13 games, but more than half of the games he came on was as a substitue. There is however another rumor circulating that there could be a swap for Hannover 96 striker, Mame Diouf who has scored 8 league goals in 19 games.

After coming off an impressive campaign, Luis Suarez is one of the most highly sought-after players in the planet. It has been rumored though that Bavarian giants, Bayern Munich put in a €44,000,000 bid for the Uruguayan international. But this move wouldn't make any sense as FC Bayern recently acquired Robert Lewandowski from rivals Borussia Dortmund. Could Pep be planning a deadly 4-4-2 formation with two of arguably the best strikers in the world, up top?
