Germany’s Deniz Undav has recently been in the spotlight as VfB Stuttgart has triggered the purchase option for the striker. Undav, who played on loan at Stuttgart last season from Brighton & Hove Albion, has expressed his desire to stay at the Bundesliga club. However, Brighton also has the option to buy him back, leading to uncertainty about his future. The purchase option for Undav is set at around €20 million, and he has reportedly agreed to personal terms for a new contract with Stuttgart.
Aside from Undav, Stuttgart is also making moves in the transfer market. Serhou Guirassy, another striker, has been linked with a potential move to Borussia Dortmund, while Stuttgart’s defender Waldemar Anton is reportedly attracting interest from the same club. Additionally, Hiroki Ito has departed for Bayern Munich, leaving a gap in the defensive line for Stuttgart. The Bild newspaper has reported that Stuttgart is close to signing forward Ermedin Demirovic from Augsburg for a fee of €15-20 million. Demirovic, who scored 15 goals for Augsburg in the last Bundesliga season, could add firepower to Stuttgart’s attack.
In further transfer news, Stuttgart has announced the signing of Frans Krätzig from Bayern Munich on a season-long loan. The utility player will provide versatility to the squad as they prepare for the upcoming season. With various comings and goings in the transfer market, Stuttgart is looking to strengthen their squad for the challenges ahead. Deniz Undav’s future at the club remains uncertain, but the striker’s impressive performance last season has made him a valuable asset for Stuttgart.
