At the beginning of the week, VfB stars Sasa Kalajdzic (25) and Borna Sosa (24) met in the garden for a table tennis match. Sosa played with a frying pan instead of a bat, and still scored a lot. It is quite possible that this duel on the plate was the farewell match between the two…
15m offer for Kalajdzic, Bergamo wants Sosa!
And VfB sports director Sven Mislintat wants to replace the two possible departures with newcomers.
Stuttgart’s hot poker week!
► Der Kalajdzic-Showdown
Ösi (contract until 2023) is said to be in almost agreement with Wolverhampton, third in the Premier League, and Wolves are offering him a five-year contract. According to BILD information, the English have now also made a first concrete offer of 15 million euros to VfB. Stuttgart is of course not enough. VfB have 25 million euros in mind. It can be assumed that the Wolves will add more in the coming days.
If the Kalajdzic deal works, the desired successor Joshua Zirkzee (21) should come from Bayern. The competition is tough (Gladbach, Augsburg, Bruges, Anderlecht), but Stuttgart seems to be in pole position. According to information from Sky, the Bavarians have rejected Anderlecht’s offer of just under ten million euros.
► The Sosa Poker
The Croatian (contract until 2025) has verbally agreed on a change with Atalanta Bergamo – reports Sport1. However, there are still some hurdles. The Italians have yet to sell players to be able to afford Sosa’s fee. VfB will not let the king of the flank go for less than 20 million euros. Misintat on Sky: “After the changes from Marc Cucurella (for 65 million euros to Chelsea/ed.Red.) and David Raum (for 26 million euros to Leipzig), Borna is the hottest iron on the left-back position in Europe. If Sosa leaves, VfB don’t want to close the gap internally, but want to get a new left-back.
The transfer finish at VfB will be super hot!
