VfB player Millot transfers to Saudi Arabia's soccer league
Stuttgart Earns Big from Millot's Transfer, Future Signings Unclear
VfB Stuttgart has secured a significant sum of approximately €28-30 million from the transfer of Enzo Millot to Saudi club Al Ahli, according to various reports. The 23-year-old French midfielder, who had been a key player under coach Sebastian Hoeneß, signed a three-year contract with Al Ahli until 2028.
Following Millot's departure, Stuttgart is expected to be active in the transfer market, looking to reinforce the squad. As of August 2025, no concrete details about potential new signings have been made available.
The future of Nick Woltemade remains uncertain, with no recent updates or official statements from the club regarding his situation.
During the 2024-25 season, Millot made 29 Bundesliga appearances, scoring six goals and providing five assists. He also scored twice in the German Cup final, helping Stuttgart to victory against Arminia Bielefeld. Previously, he was linked with a €20 million release clause and negotiations with Atlético Madrid before the move to Al Ahli.
Matthias Jaissle, the former coach of Hoffenheim, is now at the helm of Al-Ahli and reportedly spoke out for Millot. However, a potential transfer for Fabio Vieira from FC Arsenal does not seem to be imminent.
Stuttgart's attack remains strong, with national player Deniz Undav and Ermedin Demirovic still on the roster. Even if Woltemade were to leave, the team would likely continue to be competitive.
The transfer negotiations around Woltemade have stalled, and Atlético Madrid and Galatasaray Istanbul have been mentioned as possible new employers for Millot. The loan players El Bilal Touré, Fabian Rieder, and Jacob Bruun Larsen have parted ways with Stuttgart.
Meanwhile, the possible signing of Giannis Konstantelias from PAOK Saloniki has failed in the short term. Despite Millot's desire to leave Stuttgart, no new information about his future has been reported.
