Supervisory board gives apparent green light
Stuttgart likely set for transfer double swoop
VfB Stuttgart has made tremendous progress in recent years. On Sunday, the Swabian club presented a record result at its members' assembly. The club now appears ready to open its coffers for two transfers.
According to reports, a double swoop on the transfer market is taking shape at Stuttgart. Striker Dzenan Pejcinovic from VfL Wolfsburg and Leo Sauer from Feyenoord Rotterdam could soon become reality.
The supervisory board of the DFB-Pokal finalists has already released the necessary millions. The total volume of both deals is reportedly around 30 million euros.
The lion's share would go to Pejcinovic, who has long been considered Stuttgart's preferred solution for the striker position. According to consistent media reports, the Swabians recently increased their offer to 20 million euros plus possible bonus payments.
However, no final agreement with VfL Wolfsburg has apparently been reached yet. In Wolfsburg, the desired price is said to be 25 million euros.
Stuttgart achieves million-euro profit
Winger Sauer would likely be considerably cheaper. According to reports, the Slovak international carries a price tag of around ten million euros. However, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and Benfica are also reportedly interested in the 20-year-old.
Stuttgart's management, led by sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth, does not have completely free rein on the transfer market, according to the report. The approval of the million-euro purchases is tied to the condition that the club generates its own transfer revenue in the summer.
Bilal El Khannouss was recently considered a sales candidate. There has also been ongoing speculation about Angelo Stiller. According to reports, however, Stuttgart currently has no concrete offers on the table for either top player.
Chief executive Alexander Wehrle presented excellent figures to Stuttgart members on Sunday. In the 2025 financial year, the outsourced Stuttgart AG achieved total revenue of 383.6 million euros, with after-tax profit of 22.5 million euros. At the same time, equity grew to 83.4 million euros.
