"VfL Wolfsburg wish to make it absolutely clear that at no time did those responsible at the club make either written nor oral commitments on the transfer of Julian Draxler within the current transfer period, which is due to end on August 31st, 2016," the statement reads.

The club's statement stems from Draxler's comments in German publication Bild, where the 24-time capped Die Mannschaft conceded that an agreement was in place to let the player walk should one of the continent's heavy hitters come calling.

"This is reiterated by a contractual release clause agreed upon with Julian Draxler and his management, which does not come into effect until summer 2017.

"We now consider any possible uncertainties to have been eradicated and that all parties can revert back to a professional and responsible collaboration for the good of VfL Wolfsburg and, in particular, for our fans.

"VfL Wolfsburg will not be selling Julian Draxler during the course of the current transfer period."
