Following Wolfsbourg's relegation to the second German division, FC Porto is monitoring 21-year-old French right-back Saël Kumbedi. The German club had previously spent nearly 9 million euros on the player, who joined them in January 2026. It is understood that Wolfsbourg is open to negotiations and is ready to authorize an exit during the current summer transfer window. Porto faces competition for Kumbedi, as Lazio and AS Roma in Italy, along with Feyenoord Rotterdam, are also interested. Additionally, an unidentified Ligue 1 club is reportedly considering acquiring the player. The France U21 international has a contract with Wolfsburg until June 2029, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €12.00m.
