VfB Stuttgart wants the player and the player wants to go to VfB Stuttgart. Nevertheless, the transfer of Woo-yeong Jeong to the country could not be realized. So far, the Bundesliga soccer club has not yet been able to come to an agreement with SC Freiburg on the personnel issue.
It’s no longer a secret that the 23-year-old is one of Stuttgart’s head coach Sebastian Hoeneß’s dream players. After the two had worked together successfully twice at FC Bayern in the U19s and in the second team, Hoeneß now wants to get the South Korean under his wing again.
Jeong himself is said to be very sympathetic to the move from Breisgau to Neckar after he hadn’t gotten beyond the role of joker under Christian Streich in the past season.
VfB Stuttgart and SC Freiburg have not yet agreed on the fee
The big problem is currently the transfer fee to be paid for Jeong, who switched from FC Bayern to Freiburg three years ago.
As reported by “Bild”, SC Freiburg will not let its winger go for less than four million euros. Jeong is still under contract with the Sport-Club until 2025, the European Cup participant is not absolutely dependent on the sale and the corresponding transfer proceeds.
Stuttgart, on the other hand, has only offered three million euros until recently and has not announced an increase in the offer until recently. The current negotiating situation between Freiburg and VfB is correspondingly deadlocked.
According to the newspaper report, the Swabians have not yet given up. First of all, however, one of the two parties has to move away from their demands and come to terms with the other side, if the transfer business is actually going to happen this summer.
