Wolfsburg CEO Klaus Allofs has admitted signing Nicklas Bendtner was "a failed experiment" after the Bundesliga side opted to release the striker on Monday.
Bendtner joined Wolfsburg on a free transfer in August 2014, but the Denmark international failed to live up the high expectations at the Volkswagen Arena.
"Signing Bendtner was an experiment and it was not a successful one," Allofs told Kicker.
"Bendtner was a gamble worth taking. He was an extraordinary talent. We were envious of Arsenal when Nicklas was still a young player.
"But talent alone is not enough. Nicklas is a divisive figure, he is hurting his own career.
"Of course, we are upset and disappointed that he was unable to fulfil his potential at Wolfsburg."
