Mislintat about contracts at VfB Stuttgart: “No reason to get nervous”

“Best solution” in the foreground

VfB Stuttgart is calm about the transfer rumors about some of its top players and is ready to talk in the event of concrete offers. “We have always emphasized that when there are offers, we sit down with the respective player to find the best solution for VfB and the player,” said sporting director Sven Mislintat when asked about speculation about Sasa Kalajdzic (24), Borna Sosa (24 ) and Orel Mangala (24) of the “dpa” on Tuesday. “It can be a transfer, but of course it can also mean staying at VfB.”

Midfielder Mangala and full-back Sosa have contracts with the Swabians until 2024 and 2025. Kalajdzic, who has so far rejected an offer to extend his contract, is still tied to VfB until the summer of 2023. With the club being hit hard financially by the Corona crisis, all three players are considered candidates for sale after this season.

“Borna, Sasa and Orel have contracts with us beyond the summer, so there’s no reason to be nervous,” said Mislintat. “At the moment this topic is very far away anyway, our entire focus is on the current season and our goal of staying in the Bundesliga. Everything else is not important now.” After 27 match days, the Swabians are in 14th place in the table – tied with Hertha BSC in the relegation rank.
