Germany striker Mario Gomez has revealed he had initially set his sights on a move elsewhere before eventually joining Wolfsburg.
Mario Gomez has acknowledged Wolfsburg was not his first choice for a move, as he had been keen on a move to a club playing Champions League football.
The 31-year-old signed a three-year deal with Wolfsburg on Wednesday to return to the Bundesliga after a disappointing spell at Fiorentina.
"I wanted to play Champions League football, but most clubs already had enough options in attack," Gomez said. "And then there were some clubs that did play in the Champions League, but are likely to go out after the group stages.
