Veteran midfielder Joshua Guilavogui is on the verge of returning to VfL Wolfsburg, marking a potential homecoming for the Frenchman after a brief stint in England with Leeds United, according to reports from Sacha Tavolieri via Sky Sports CH.

The 35-year-old left Leeds United in the summer following a short-term deal that lasted just half a season.

Signed during the 2024/25 Championship campaign, Guilavogui was brought in by the West Yorkshire club to add depth, leadership, and much-needed composure in midfield.

Although his on-pitch involvement was limited, just 65 minutes across 16 substitute appearances, his impact in the dressing room was widely praised.

Now, a return to familiar territory appears imminent. Reports suggest that several Wolfsburg executives have publicly voiced their support for re-signing Guilavogui, who is currently a free agent.
