VfB Stuttgart are expected to receive a 'top offer' for their key players in the summer after a move from Nottingham Forest this year.
This is according to the sport build. The German newspaper has covered Stuttgart today and revealed how they could be busy on the summer departure front.
According to their report, Stuttgart are focusing on winning the Europa League for the money it will bring.
That extra money could help them retain their stars in the summer. A number of people have already been targeted by the Premier League. Prominent among them are Jamie Lewelling and Ramon Hendrix.
Leveling in nottingham forest
For example, leveling up was Nottingham Forest's goal last summer. Sport Witness covered it extensively at the time.
At first it was explained that we would Really need an extraordinary offer If they were to sign the 24-year-old any time soon.
A separate report then described how Lewelling had made it clear that he did not want Nottingham Forest.
He even clearly told his agents to leave him alone. Whether this has changed now remains to be seen. But there is a feeling that Nottingham Forest could come back for him at some point.
One goal hendricks too
He's not the only Stuttgart player in their sights either. There's also Ramon Hendrix. Nottingham Forest, as well as Borussia Dortmund, moved for him in the January transfer window.
Sport Witness also covered it at that time. Indeed, Stuttgart's sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth It was even confirmed that they had rejected a bid.
He then explained that the German side did this because they were continuing to support Hendrix's development. Undoubtedly, its value may see a significant increase in the future. Whether this means a summer sale is on the table is debatable.
But the feeling is that Nottingham Forest, and others, can get back to that point. So Stuttgart is focusing on the Europa League. If they had won the entire tournament, they could have received approximately €34m in prize money from their participation.
This is a huge sum for the German team and should help ease interest in their best players this summer.
