VfL Wolfsburg have loaned Bartol Franjic to Bundesliga promoted side SV Darmstadt 98 for one year. The 23-year-old Croatian joined the Wolves from Dinamo Zagreb in summer 2022 but a number of injuries restricted him to just six appearances last season, including one in the DFB Cup. In order for the midfielder to gain more match experience, both parties have now opted for a loan deal within the Bundesliga.
