The case of Julian Draxler is a complex one. 15 months after turning down a move to Juventus, the 23-year-old German international now sees himself left out of the Wolfsburg team to face Bayern Munich this weekend. 
 

Out of form and out of favour, his options for a move in January are limited; Juventus are certainly not interested any longer and won’t be offering Turin as a place of sanctuary, so where does that leave the player who just over 12 months ago looked to have the world at his feet.
 

According to the press in Germany, Draxler has been omitted from the squad due to the fact that he has handed in a transfer request. At this point there looks to be two possible alternatives; the first one is a return to former club Schalke 04 with the second one being a surprise switch to French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
