Brazil midfielder Diego is unlikely to play for VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga again having stormed out on his team before their crucial relegation battle, it was reported Wednesday. The 26-year-old is currently on holiday, but is likely to find himself out in the cold should he return for training on June 23 after Wolves coach Felix Magath is reported to have decided he will not play for the first-team again.
According to a report in German daily Bild, Magath met with Wolfsburg chairman of the board Dr Francisco Javier Garcia Sanz on Monday night to discuss the future of their bad-boy star, who is under contract until 2014. Wolfsburg are reported to either want to transfer the midfielder for at least 10 million euros or banish him to the club's second team to play fourth division football.
"If a club wants to sign Diego, they need to get in touch with us," Magath told Bild. Last Saturday, Diego stormed out of the pre-match team meeting after being told by Magath he had been left out of the starting line-up for their 3-1 win at Hoffenheim, which meant Wolfsburg stay in the Bundesliga.
He then refused to travel with the team to the stadium, but reported for training on Sunday morning. So far, no club has shown an interest in signing him, but as he has an Italian passport, he would be eligible to play for Wolfsburg's second team, as only EU citizens can play for reserve teams in Germany.
