VfB Stuttgart is chasing Bayern talent Wanner: Is the winger coming back?

VfB Stuttgart is intensifying its efforts to strengthen its squad for the coming season. After right-back Lorenz Assignon was signed from Stade Rennes, further transfers are on the club's agenda. There is movement, especially in the attack, as a player from Switzerland is returning to Stuttgart.

In addition, defender Jeff Chabot has been linked to a top Italian club. In addition, playmaker Enzo Millot, who was one of the top performers this season, could move to France. Millot has a release clause of between 18 and 20 million euros, with his current market value estimated at 42 million euros.

Interested in Paul Wanner

Another talent that is on VfB Stuttgart's radar is Paul Wanner, an 18-year-old player from FC Bayern Munich. Wanner, born on December 23, 2005 in Dornbirn, Austria, currently has a contract until June 30, 2027. His market value is around 15 million euros. This season, Wanner was loaned out to 1. FC Heidenheim, where he caused a stir in 19 competitive games, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists.

He is seen as a possible replacement for Millot, especially as interest in Millot is growing, including from Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund. According to reports from Southwest24 Wanner's move to VfB Stuttgart could not take place until the summer at the earliest, as he is tied to Heidenheim until the end of the season.

Outlook on transfers

VfB Stuttgart is planning strategically to increase the quality of the squad without having to part with its best players like Millot in the winter. Another FC Barcelona talent will also be kept in mind as the club stays on top of market developments. A possible transfer of Wanner could also include a buyback clause for Bayern Munich, which could complicate negotiations.

Overall, there are signs of change in the Stuttgart squad, with the club aiming for both short- and long-term success. The coming weeks will be crucial for how Wanner's personality and Millot's future develop.
