In a potential move that could bolster VfB Stuttgart's midfield, negotiations are underway for the transfer of 22-year-old Caspar Jander from 1. FC Nürnberg. The two clubs are currently discussing the transfer fee, with personal terms already agreed between Jander and Stuttgart [1][2].
Jander, who is contracted to Nürnberg until 2028 without a release clause, joined the club last summer on a free transfer from MSV Duisburg. In the 2024-25 season, he made 34 appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 9 assists in the 2. Bundesliga [1][2].
Stuttgart's sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth and head coach Sebastian Hoeneß have shown a keen interest in Jander, viewing him as a key addition to challenge current players like Atakan Karazor and Angelo Stiller [2]. This signing would follow other ambitious moves by Stuttgart, such as acquiring Noah Darvich (18) from FC Barcelona and Lorenz Assignon (25) from Stade Rennes [2].
The transfer fee for Jander is expected to be in the range of €7-8.5 million, reflecting his status as a valued player at Nürnberg [2][3]. However, the deal is yet to be finalized as Stuttgart and Nürnberg continue negotiations over the fee [1][2].
With VfB Stuttgart set to begin training for the new season on July 9, Jander's potential arrival could be a significant boost to the club's ambitions. Stuttgart have secured a spot in the Europa League and will be aiming to build a competitive squad for the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, Lazar Jovanovic is being mentioned as a possible new signing for VfB Stuttgart in media reports. Jander is one of several candidates for the central position in the team, alongside Angelo Stiller and Atakan Karazor. Notably, VfB Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade was also part of the German U21 national team that reached the final of the Euros, alongside Jander [4].
As the transfer saga continues, fans and pundits alike eagerly await the confirmation of Jander's move to Stuttgart, which could mark a new chapter in the club's journey.
