Wolfsburg withdraw from Josh Sargent negotiations after Norwich reject €19m offer
The Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung reports that American striker Josh Sargent's transfer from Norwich City to VfL Wolfsburg has collapsed. The USMNT international will no be moving back to the Bundesliga after all. WAZ quotes a club source as saying that the deal is 'off the table'. Reports emerging yesterday suggested that Germany's green company team was willing to meet Norwich's €20m asking price. The Lower Saxon paper nevertheless claims that Wolfsburg were only willing to go as high as €19m. When this offer was rejected by the EFL Championship side, the VfL front office officially dropped their interest. Whether or not talks will resume remains to be seen. For the moment, it appears Wolfsburg are focusing on completing Jesper Lindstrøm's loan deal. WAZ reports that Lindstrøm is in the Autostadt for his scheduled medical. GGFN |

🫣 A patch of turf missing: DFB-Pokal pitch falls short of required length
Actually, VfL Wolfsburg wanted to start selling tickets for their DFB Cup match against SV Hemelingen today. But that's not going to happen for now. As the Bundesliga club announced on Monday, the start has to be postponed. Because the field where the first-round match in the DFB Cup is to be played is too short. With a length of 96 meters, it is exactly four meters too short. The problem was reported during an inspection of the field by DFB officials at the stadium on Berliner Ring in Verden, Lower Saxony, as reported by 'Bild', among others. "No problem", the club probably thought, which is said to have assured the DFB that it would extend the field by laying down roll-out turf. The only problem is that the stadium has a tartan track. Additionally, it was apparently criticized that the distance to a high jump facility behind the goal was too small. So, move to a different location after all? For the amateur club, this doesn't seem to be an option. In addition to Delmenhorst or Oldenburg, the match on August 16 could also be played in the stadium of the Wolfsburg women. One thing is certain, though: the advance ticket sales will have to wait until a solution to the field problem has been found. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Germany: Car crashes into trampoline, lodges in barn roof
A hole in a hedge, a smashed up trampoline, branches ripped off trees, tiles torn off roofs, and a car lodged in the roof of a barn. The small town of Bohmte near the city of Osnabrück in the northwestern German state of Lower Saxony was the scene of a spectacular accident on Saturday evening which has left two people seriously injured, including a seven-year-old boy. For as yet unknown reasons, local police reported on Sunday, the car appears to have come off the road at high speed before colliding with a parked vehicle and crashing through a hedge. On the other side of the hedge, the car then fell around 1.5 meters (five feet) into a lower-lying back garden where it appears to have landed on a trampoline, hitting and injuring the child who was playing on it. Then, either as a result of the topography of the area or of bouncing off the trampoline, or both, it appears to have been flung further through the air, eventually crashing into the attic of a barn about 3 meters off the ground. "There was a massive clatter and we just thought: Help! What has happened?" said a local resident. "Then we ran outside and saw the car in the roof." The driver of the car, a 42-year-old man, sustained only light injuries, as did three boys aged 11, 12 and 13 in the back seat. A 43-year-old woman in the passenger seat was seriously injured, as was the little boy on the trampoline, who police said was in a life-threatening condition. Huge rescue operation after car lands in barn roof After being alerted to the accident, dozens of emergency service personnel attended the scene, including firefighters, police, technical relief staff, 12 ambulance crews and emergency pastoral carers, while two rescue helicopters circled overhead. "This is clearly an extraordinary deployment," said a fire brigade spokesman. The occupants of the car were taken to various local clinics where the driver had blood samples taken and his driving license confiscated. Police said they are ruling out alcohol as a cause of the accident. The car had to be removed from the barn roof with a crane and was also subsequently impounded by prosecutors. Photographs and video footage from the scene show a trail destruction left by the car as it hurtled along: branches ripped off trees, tiles torn off roofs, a smashed hedge and a wrecked trampoline. The entire operation continued until about 4 a.m. local time on Sunday morning.
