VfB Stuttgart has succeeded in a real transfer coup: the Swabians have signed the German U17 world champion Noah Darvich from FC Barcelona.
The 18-year-old Darvich moved from his home club SC Freiburg to the youth department of FC Barcelona in 2023. However, he could not prevail with the professionals of the Spanish master. Darvich played in Spain in his two years for the second team of the Catalans in the third Spanish league.
Big competition at FC Barcelona
The perspective of the offensive midfielder in the foreseeable future in the first team’s professional squad was low in the face of competition such as Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, Raphinha, Gavi, Ansu Fati or Pedri. Even if Darvich belonged to the squad several times in the team of coach Hansi Flick-most recently even in the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan.
Retailing amount for Noah Darvich should not be too high
Hence the step to Stuttgart. The transfer fee for the native of Freiburg should not be too high. Depending on the medium, it varies from a high six -digit sum to an amount that is said to be just under three million euros.
Darvich is considered to be highly rated. As a captain, he led the German U17 national team to the European Championship and World Cup title in 2023. At the current U19 European Championship in Romania, he injured himself in the preliminary round and lacked Germans in the semi-finals against Spain.
