Srdjan Lakic to Join Wolfsburg at the End of the Season
1. FC Kaiserslautern announced a crucial piece of news during the press conference ahead of the encounter with 1. FSV Mainz 05.
The Croatian forward Srdjan Lakic will join VfL Wolfsburg at the end of the current campaign. Stefan Kuntz, chairman of the FCK board of management, and the 27-year-old striker were present at the news conference ahead of the Mainz clash on Saturday, January 29, 2011, to respond to the journalists’ questions regarding Lakic’s move to Wolfsburg.
“We have exhausted all options to make Laki an attractive and affordable offer, but Wolfsburg’s offer is truly unbeatable,” Stefan Kuntz said. The former professional player regrets the development but shows understanding for Lakic’s decision. “Although we lose an outstanding player and one of our team captains, we need to show understanding for his decision since he has the possibility to sign a big deal with Wolfsburg. The negotiations with Srdjan have always been absolutely professional,” Kuntz pointed out.
The Croatian national team player surely looks forward to the new challenge, but underlined that it was no easy decision for him. “Anyone who knows me at least a little bit, is well aware that I will leave FCK with a heavy heart. I have had wonderful and successful years here. I have always given everything for the club and I certainly will continue to give everything to help achieving our great objective of staying in the top flight,” Srdjan Lakic stated.
Srdjan Lakic will sign a four-year contract until June 2015 with VfL Wolfsburg.
