While a successful season for VfB Stuttgart came to a rather inglorious end in the DFB Cup final in Berlin on Saturday evening, planning for the new season is already in full swing. The Swabians are said to be particularly interested in two offensive players in particular. There is even talk of sending the first million dollar offers.
As transfer insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter reports to Kurnachrichtendienst X, VfB Stuttgart is showing concrete interest in signing Sebastian Nanasi. The 24-year-old is currently under contract with Racing Strasbourg in France. The attacking midfielder scored ten goals and five assists in 34 competitive games for the Ligue 1 club last season.
Since the Swedish international is tied to the traditional club from Alsace until the end of June 2029, the offensive man will by no means be a bargain for the Swabians. Toubache-Ter claims to have learned that the 2025 DFB Cup winner has already sent two offers to Strasbourg. It is said that offers of 18 and 19.5 million euros were rejected.
Does VfB Stuttgart serve itself in Istanbul?
The Conference League semi-finalists insist on a transfer fee of at least 25 million euros from their top performers – plus two more as bonuses. It is still unclear whether the traditional club from the region will be prepared to pay such a sum. Finally, the fourth-placed team in the Bundesliga season seems to have thrown its hat into the ring with another attacker.
The Turkish daily newspaper “Takvim” claims to have learned that Dorgeles Nene from Fenerbahce in Istanbul is also a candidate in Bad Cannstatt. In order to secure the services of the winger, the Bundesliga club from the capital of Baden-Württemberg has already sent a 22 million euro offer to the Turkish metropolis of millions, and Fenerbahce is now discussing whether they will accept it.
The Mali national player is still under contract until 2030, but with ten goals and seven assists in 25 league games he has become the focus of clubs with the right to compete in the Champions League. For this reason, VfB Stuttgart also seems to have become aware of the attacker, who can mainly be used on the right flank, but also in the center of the attack.
