VfB Stuttgart's focus on Tim van der Leij
VfB Stuttgart have shown interest in Tim van der Leij, while Deniz Undav has extended his contract. Talks are going on between the two clubs.
Deniz Undav has extended his contract with VfB Stuttgart until 2029. At the same time, talks are going on about another striker Tim van der Leij. Stuttgart discussed future plans with Undav, with his age being an important topic. Undaw scored 25 goals and 14 assists last season, earning him a contract extension.
Van der Leij, who comes from RKC Waalwijk, scored 13 goals in 33 appearances last season. Stuttgart is trying to include him in their team. However, Walvis has asked for a huge transfer fee for him, which does not fit into Stuttgart's budget. Talks are ongoing, but no consensus has been reached yet.
Meanwhile, 1. FC Magdeburg have also shown interest in their player Laurin Ulrich. Ulrich performed well last season and is now set to return to Stuttgart. Augsburg and Karlsruher SC are also interested in Ulrich's services.
