During the recent summer transfer window, Ermedin Demirovic was considered a hot candidate to leave Stuttgart. Rumors constantly circulated around the 28-year-old striker, who ultimately stayed in the region and delivered an impressive season start with four goals in five matches. It's no wonder, then, that speculation continues.

According to a report from the portal fussball-news, Ermedin Demirovic from Stuttgart remains on the radar of several European clubs. The efforts are said to be intensive, with AC Milan standing out with particularly concrete interest. During the still-young season, the Milan side is reported to have watched Demirovic multiple times during matches. However, no official contact is said to have taken place yet. A move from Milan is already expected in the winter transfer window.

Other interested parties are said to include Juventus, Galatasaray, and Leeds United.

What remains unclear is whether the Bosnian international footballer (44 appearances/4 goals) actually wants to turn his back on Stuttgart.

Demirovic stated in early September that he had set himself the goal of regaining respect for his name, noting that there had been a lot of talk recently. He emphasized that he was labeled a sale candidate but was able to show that he is present and is not a player who cannot find a club. He added that he wanted to stay and had excellent conversations with the manager. He stressed that he wanted to continue on this path and was not looking for a way out.

However, the speculation about his future at Stuttgart did not leave Demirovic unaffected. He revealed that there were sleepless nights at home, noting that a lie was spread during the training camp that the manager wanted to sell him, which was quickly clarified.

The transfer fee Stuttgart is demanding

According to fussball-news, Stuttgart is also far from eager to lose Demirovic. Only an enormous offer could change this stance. Offers below a base transfer fee of 35 million euros are said to be virtually hopeless. Additionally, the club in the region is said to insist on bonus payments.
