Wolfsburg have strengthened their squad with two high-profile transfers on deadline day: German World Cup winner Julian Draxler from Schalke and Bayern Munich defender Dante, both undisclosed fees.
Brazil international central defender Dante, aged 31, has signed a three-year contract, while Draxler, who is just 21 years old, has put pen on paper on a five-year deal. Wolfsburg have sold star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne for 55 million pounds to Manchester City on Sunday.
Dante has been playing for champions Bayern Munich since 2012, making 86 appearances and scoring 3 goals. He has 13 international caps for Brazil and two goals. Julian Draxler came through the youth ranks at Schalke and made his senior debut in 2011 at the age of 17. He has made 118 appearances for Schalke, scoring 18 goals. He already has 15 senior caps for Germany.
Wolfsburg will compete in Manchester United's Champions League group and the German side are 1.53 at Bet365 to qualify from that group, which also contains CSKA Moscow and PSV Eindhoven.

Wolfsburg making great team this season. I think that they will be in first three teams of Bundesliga for sure but i am not sure that they can win title. Bayern and Dortmund are really great this season and I think that they will have race for first place and Wolfsburg will be third despite all this good transfers.

these both players are great and I think that they can help Wolsburg to win tittle this year. I am not sure that Bayern Munich is dominant like he was before, they struggle at the start of the season and I think that they could drop a lot of points this year special away. So I thin that this season some other team can win...

So I thin that this season some other team can win in Bundesliga, and that team is Wolfsburg.

Dante is great defender and he will be great for defense of Wolfsburg but I am not sure why they sign Draxler. Draxler was great talent but now I think that he can't met all expectations but they sold De Bruyne and I understand that they must get another player instead him but I am not sure that Draxler can be good substitution...

Great transfer window for Wolfsburg. Yes, they sold their best player, but they used that money to bring great replacement. Julian Draxler is one of the best young German players and he prove himself in last couple season. Also, they can earn lot of money in future from his sale.

In defense, they bought Dante and he was cheap. I think for about 4 millions euros. That is awesome deal.

I think Wolsburg spending wisely the money that they've received from De Bruyne transfer. Both these are class players with great experience in the Bundesliga so you couldn't make mistake with such a buys. But undisclosed fees tells me one thing - they were not a cheaper buys.
