WOLFSBURG, Germany --

Wolfsburg are interested in signing Germany striker Max Kruse from Bundesliga rivals Borussia Monchengladbach.

Wolfsburg managing director Klaus Allofs told Kicker magazine: "We are aware that we are not alone."

Kruse's contract runs another two seasons, but he has an exit clause for a set transfer fee of 12 million euros ($13.46 million).

Monchengladbach have not given up hope of extending Kruse's contract and will talk to his agent later this month.

Kruse scored the last-minute winning goal that cut Monchengladbach's gap to second-place Wolfsburg to four points while delivering the title to Bayern Munich on Sunday.

In 62 matches for 'Gladbach over two seasons, Kruse has scored 21 goals.
