Nurnberg have confirmed the summer signing of Emanuel Pogatetz from Wolfsburg as a part of swap deal that would see Timm Klose go the other way. Wolfsburg would also pay their business counterparts a sum of around £4.7million to close the deal.
Emanuel Pogatetz, who played for West Ham United on a loan, was denied another season with the club by club manager Sam Allardyce. So the Austrian defender, left with lesser opportunities, decided to leave Wolfsburg this summer for a move to Nurnberg.<br />
With reports claiming this deal to be completed, it is understood that Nurnberg will receive around £4.7million in addition to Pogatetz for their highly-rated player Klose, who will move to their Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg.<br />
Nurnberg General Manager Martin Bader reveals his delight and claims the deal to be a successful accomplishment. He said to Deutsche Presseagentur:<br />
“After we decided to accept the decision of Timm Klose to join Wolfsburg, we are delighted to be able to sign an experienced Bundesliga defender in Emanuel Pogatetz" <br />
"He will be strengthening our squad. We will formally sign all necessary papers after he has passed the medical."
