Sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth expressed full confidence in homegrown Dennis Seimen (20) in the goalkeeping debate surrounding VfB Stuttgart. “Dennis played a fantastic season in Paderborn. He is not an experiment, but we trust him with full confidence to take on the role as number one,” Wohlgemuth told the German Press Agency. “We don’t have any shared views on this. We all share this attitude.”
On Wednesday, the Swabians officially announced that Alexander Nübel (29) would be returning to FC Bayern after a three-year loan – at least for the time being. Because the record champions no longer plan with the national goalkeeper. Man City and Juventus are said to have positioned themselves as interested parties.
In Stuttgart they are now relying on Seimen, who was loaned out to SC Paderborn last season and achieved promotion to the Bundesliga with Ostwestfalen. A courageous step that caused discussions. Seimen was trained in the VfB youth team for ten years, but has not yet played a first division game. Stuttgart will play in the Champions League next season. In the ranking of the most valuable German goalkeepers, Nübel is at 12 million euros, just ahead of Seimen at 10 million euros.
“Dennis is a young goalkeeper who loves competition and challenges,” Wohlgemuth continued. “Even if he doesn’t yet have the experience of a 35-year-old, he was always able to adapt extremely quickly to a new level of performance and soon have a say in it – with the U-national teams, in the 3rd league and most recently in the 2nd league in Paderborn.”
