VfB threatens to fail
VfB Stuttgart is threatened with the loss of Konstantinos Mavropanos in the important away game in the Bundesliga at Hertha BSC on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky). The Greek had to be replaced after a blow to the shin in the 2-3 (1-0) win against Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB Cup semifinals on Wednesday. It was still too early for an update on the 25-year-old’s health, said coach Sebastian Hoeneß after the game. Mavropanos left the stadium limping. VfB are fighting for important points at Hertha to remain in the league, which could also play a decisive role in Mavropanos’ future.

Contrary to previous reports, the central defender has included an exit clause in the VfB contract, which runs until 2025, according to information from “Kicker”. The sum amounts to around 30 million euros – twice its current market value. However, this only applies “under Bundesliga conditions,” the magazine continues. For many clubs that have Mavropanos on their list, he should only become really interesting if he is relegated. At EUR 30 million, Mavropanos would become the second most expensive exit from Stuttgart in history, alongside Mario Gómez (2009/10 to FC Bayern).

The defensive giant had already let it be known that he wanted to play in the European Cup and for titles in the future. In addition to the Bundesliga, Mavropanos should prefer the Premier League. While Wolverhampton Wanderers are said to have hit rock bottom with their efforts at VfB Stuttgart last winter, Atlético Madrid, Inter Milan, VfL Wolfsburg and cup opponents Eintracht Frankfurt have recently been linked to Mavropanos. The latter has been dealing with the central defender for a long time, who has played 85 games (seven goals) for the Swabians in three seasons to date.
