Stuttgart's loaned players Touré and Rieder bid adieu to the club - Duo Touré and Rieder depart from VfB Stuttgart Club
VfB Stuttgart, the victors of the DFB Cup in 2024-2025, have announced the departure of two loan players, Fabian Rieder and El Bilal Touré. Both players will be returning to their respective parent clubs, Stade Rennes and Atalanta Bergamo.
Fabian Rieder, a Swiss midfielder, spent a year with the Swabians, making 21 appearances in the Bundesliga. His most memorable game was against Young Boys Bern in the Champions League, where he contributed to three goals for Stuttgart against his former team. Sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth commended Rieder, stating, "He quickly integrated into our squad and demonstrated his skill in 33 competitive games."
El Bilal Touré, a 23-year-old midfielder, had been sidelined due to a metatarsal injury but managed to score the winning goal in Stuttgart's historic victory over Juventus Turin, their first win in the Champions League in 14 years. Wohlgemuth acknowledged Touré's importance in the team's attack.
Stuttgart currently has its sights set on reinforcing their squad for the upcoming season. Potential signings include Lorenz Assignon from Rennes. Both Rieder and Touré have been recognized for their dedication during their tenure at VfB Stuttgart.

Despite VfB Stuttgart's successful DFB Cup win, the Commission has not yet adopted a decision on the application of measures concerning Fabian Rieder and El Bilal Touré, who are returning to their parent clubs, Stade Rennes and Atalanta Bergamo respectively. The European-leagues will soon witness the skills of Rieder and Touré, who have demonstrated their talent in sports such as football while on loan at Stuttgart.
