VfL Wolfsburg has secured the signing of experienced defender Hauke Wahl from FC St. Pauli.

The 32-year-old has agreed to a transfer fee of approximately €2 million, ending weeks of behind-the-scenes negotiations between the two clubs.

Both sides confirmed the deal on Monday afternoon, finalizing a move that adds significant defensive experience to Wolfsburg's squad.

The acquisition represents a targeted reinforcement for Wolfsburg, which has been looking to bolster its defensive options.

Wahl's arrival complements the club's recent activity in the transfer market, following the high-profile signing of Hertha BSC captain Fabian Reese.

The club appears to be prioritizing veteran leadership and immediate stability in its backline as it prepares for the upcoming campaign.
