Market

VfB Stuttgart say no — this time

The offer from Bayern Munich for Angelo Stiller was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Badredine Bouanani moves on

Eintracht Frankfurt pay $11.0M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Tempers go at VfB Stuttgart

Jamie Leweling was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Justin Diehl attracts admirers

The name of Justin Diehl has come up in conversations VfB Stuttgart were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Bilal El Khannouss gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Dan-Axel Zagadou falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Karim Konaté arrives at VfB Stuttgart in a $8.3M statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. VfB Stuttgart have paid $8.3M for Karim Konaté, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Squad

A move Karim Konaté would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Karim Konaté is living that version at VfB Stuttgart, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Jamie Leweling wants more than VfB Stuttgart are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Maximilian Mittelstädt signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Maximilian Mittelstädt commits to VfB Stuttgart for another 4 years.
