Explaining his decision to leave the club he joined as a youngster, Didavi said: "It is a very, very difficult decision for me. I played for Stuttgart from a very early stage of my career. VfB are a huge part of my life which is why the decision wasn't an easy one. However, I'm convinced that joining Wolfsburg is the right step for me, because they – irrespective of their current situation – are pursuing the greatest sporting ambitions and I want to play my part in achieving those goals."
The 26-year-old, who has made 64 appearances in all competitions for the Swabian giants, was quick to underline where his priorities lie at present, though. "The season is not finished yet and I want to show the supporters the Dida they’ve come to know in the upcoming matches," said the playmaker. "Our goal right now to achieve Bundesliga safety and I am absolutely convinced we can achieve this."
