Christopher Olivier: Wolfsburg eye move for Austrian-South African right-back from Stuttgart II

Austrian-South African defender Christopher Olivier of Stuttgart II is being linked with a move to Wolfsburg, with the 20-year-old right-back emerging as a potential recruit for the 2. Bundesliga side.

The VfL Wolfsburg interest remains at rumour stage, with the probability of a transfer currently listed as “?” and no agreement reported between the clubs. Olivier, who is valued at €1.20m on Transfermarkt, is viewed as a low-cost option with significant upside as he continues his development in German football.

Olivier, born on 31 January 2006 in Au, stands at 1.87m and plays primarily as a right-back, favouring his right foot. He is registered with dual nationality, Austria and South Africa, and is currently on the books of VfB Stuttgart II, competing in Germany’s 3. Liga. His shirt number for the reserve side is 24.

With his contract situation at Stuttgart II not publicly detailed and no expiry date recorded, there has been speculation that he could become a free agent in the near future, a factor that may be encouraging Wolfsburg’s interest and potentially limiting any transfer fee.

In Stuttgart II’s recent 3. Liga outing against [opponent not specified in available data] on July 1, 2026, which finished [scoreline not specified], Olivier featured at right-back, contributing with his defensive work and overlapping runs down the flank as he continued to build senior minutes.

Olivier has spent his senior career so far within the Stuttgart system, representing VfB Stuttgart II as his main platform in professional football. His performances there have underpinned his current €1.20m market valuation and drawn attention from higher divisions, including Wolfsburg in the 2. Bundesliga.

If a move does materialise, a switch to Wolfsburg would represent a significant step up for Olivier and could shape his reputation as one of the more promising young full-backs emerging from the German lower leagues.
