Following Wolfsburg's relegation to the second German division, the club is open to negotiations and is ready to allow 21-year-old French defender Saël Kumbedi to leave during the summer transfer window. Wolfsburg, which he joined in January 2026, had previously paid nearly 9 million euros for the defender. Several top clubs are monitoring the situation, including Feyenoord Rotterdam, which is reportedly attracted by his offensive contributions. The two rival clubs from Rome, Lazio and AS Roma, are also reportedly interested, as is FC Porto. Furthermore, an unidentified Ligue 1 club is considering bringing the player back to France. Kumbedi, a France U21 international with 7 caps, has a contract with the German club until 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €12.00m.
