Ismaël Doukouré, 21, will stay in Alsace this summer despite Wolfsburg's persistent interest. Strasbourg's owner, Behdad Eghbali, personally communicated with Wolfsburg, rejecting their final offer of a loan with a mandatory purchase option totaling around 18 million Euros. Doukouré is under contract until June 2026.

VfL Wolfsburg has targeted Ismael Doukouré as a replacement for Maxence Lacroix. However, indications from Strasbourg suggest that Doukouré will be significantly more expensive than initially anticipated. Strasbourg is ultimately controlled by FC Chelsea, owned by US billionaire Todd Boehly.

Wolfsburg has entered negotiations with Strasbourg for Ismaël Doukouré. The player has agreed to a five-year contract with the German club. Strasbourg received an offer of 8 million euros for the player. Doukouré has expressed his desire to leave Strasbourg this summer and is enthusiastic about joining the Bundesliga.
