The Austrian international is keen to remain in Germany, either continuing at Wolfsburg or taking the next step to another Bundesliga club such as Leipzig.

The report suggests that further talks between Leipzig and the player’s representatives are expected in the coming days.

Afterwards, Die Roten Bullen will consider whether to make a formal bid to Wolfsburg, with a transfer fee of around €20 million likely to be on the table.

Wimmer’s contract runs until 2027.
