VfB Stuttgart: Winter transfers in full swing! Who comes, who goes?

VfB Stuttgart actively participated in the transfer market in the current winter transfer period 2024/25. According to information from Südwest24 there are several important developments in the squad. The transfer window in Germany opened on January 1 and closed on February 3. The current transfers include the return of Jacob Bruun Larsen from TSG Hoffenheim. The 26-year-old signed a contract until 2027 and a transfer fee of 1.3 million euros is mentioned for the return. This change marks Bruun Larsen's second switch to VfB after he came to the club as a loan from Borussia Dortmund in 2018.

In addition, Mohamed Sankoh returns early from Cosenza Calcio after his loan agreement was terminated. He should now collect game practice with the second team of VfB Stuttgart. In addition, Frans Krätzig returns to FC Bayern Munich early after he only had four missions for the first team in the current season. VfB Stuttgart also plans to make further new additions, especially in the storm and in defense, as VfB sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth noted. Injuries in the team, especially at Dan-Axel Zagadou and El Bilal Touré, are a challenge.

Current squad planning and game program

The situation is also complicated by the fact that Nick Woltemade has made aware of the storm, while rumors around Bayern talent Mathys Tel circulate. After 15 match days in the Bundesliga, VfB Stuttgart is currently in tenth place. Coach Sebastian Hoeneß started training on January 2, but there is no training camp during the winter break. The team also has to prepare for an intensive game program with four English weeks in a row, starting with an away game against FC Augsburg on Sunday.
