For weeks, VfB Stuttgart has been rumored to be interested in Jeremy Arevalo from Spanish second division club Racing Santander. Recently, however, it was said that poker had come to a serious standstill – now everything should happen very quickly.
VfB Stuttgart wants to make its offense “broader and future-proof,” reports the “kicker” and in this context is bringing into play the signing of Jeremy Arevalo. Accordingly, the “signs” for a deal are good, especially since the Ecuadorian international is said to have anchored a clause in his contract, which runs until the end of June 2027, that allows him to leave Santander if a club puts seven million euros on the table.
If you believe “Sky”, the deal has already been completed. According to the TV station, Arevalo in Ländle signed a contract until 2030 on Monday morning. The attacker is said to have activated his exit clause at the weekend.
At the beginning of November, “Sky” reported on VfB’s interest in Arevalo. At the time it was said that Eintracht Frankfurt was also putting out feelers for the youngster.
In addition to the SGE and Stuttgart, AS Roma and Udinese Calcio from Italy, Racing Strasbourg from France and unnamed clubs from Spain were also considered candidates for a transfer.
Jeremy Arevalo has been playing for the Santander professionals since 2023. In the current season, the attacker has impressed with eight goals in 18 games. A result that obviously convinces Stuttgart.
Farewell to VfB Stuttgart probably not yet certain
According to “kicker”, something could also happen on the side of departures for the Swabians. It is said that striker Silas has “long since lost his future” and will move in the winter if possible, while Yannick Keitel and Pascal Stenzel, who have been pushed into the background in terms of sport, are at least reconsidering their situation.
However, a loan from Leonidas Stergiou to 1. FC Heidenheim is suddenly proving difficult. Although FCH is still interested, due to the injuries to Dan-Axel Zagadou and Luca Jaquez, Stuttgart should plan their defensive alternatives more carefully.
