Rieder at VfB: Bargain or insider tip for Stuttgart?

VfB Stuttgart has borrowed Fabian Rieder, a talented player from Stade Rennes. However, the circumstances of this loan are surprising and could prove beneficial for the Stuttgart club.

In a recent game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Rieder showed his speed and technical skill by going around his opponent and contributing to a decisive goal. Such scenes are new for the young midfielder, but the positive feedback from his teammates, like Ermedin Demirovic, speaks volumes: “I didn’t know he was so fast: Gareth Bale 2.0,” said Demirovic about Rieder’s impressive performance.

Expectations and role in the team

Rieder, who wanted to take on the role of a supplementary player at the start of the season, has quickly proven that he is more than just an ulterior motive in the team. His free-kick skills in particular have already earned him a place in the hearts of fans. Many agree that he could play a key role at VfB Stuttgart, especially given the busy schedule with seven games in just 23 days.

The 22-year-old has already attracted attention in previous matches with two assists and a free-kick goal. These performances suggest that Stuttgart could definitely land a bargain with Rieder. The transfer fee for a possible permanent signing after this loan is surprisingly low at just ten million euros, especially considering that Stade Rennes previously paid 15 million euros for the player from BSC Young Boys.

Market value and prospects

The fact that VfB Stuttgart only had to pay a loan fee of 800,000 euros makes the deal even more attractive. If Rieder continues to play as usual and maintains his form, the club could easily benefit from this and take up the option of a permanent commitment. The pressure and challenges in the Bundesliga could prove to be a springboard for Rieder to showcase his talent on a bigger stage.

In the coming weeks it will be exciting to see how Rieder develops in this new environment and whether he can confirm his previous successes. His performance so far suggests that he has the potential to become a key player for VfB Stuttgart, while also having the opportunity to make a name for himself in international football. With Rieder, VfB Stuttgart could have found a player who not only enriches the offensive line-up, but also strengthens the team as a whole.
