Sky Germany are reporting this afternoon that Muhammed Damar's transfer to VfL Wolfsburg is on the verge of completion.
The recently regelegated Bundesliga side from Lower Saxony has reached a full agreement with TSG Hoffenheim.
Furthermore, a medical for the 22-year-old is planned to take place with the Autostadt club within the next 72 hours.
Wolfsburg are expected to pay €6million including bonuses with a sell-on clause included and €5million almost guaranteed.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen are also sitting through the Hoffenheim youth talents and have identified Luca Erlein as an option.
The 19-year-old prospect is expected to put pen to paper on a contract with the Rhineland club until the summer of 2031.
Beyond that, the right-back will likely be sent out on loan to gain experience with a second division German side.
