VfB Stuttgart Bids Farewell to Mateo Klimowicz to Atlético San Luis Permanently
In a shocking move, Bundesliga soccer club VfB Stuttgart has officially sold its former attacking player Mateo Klimowicz to Atlético San Luis on a permanent basis. The 23-year-old, who was previously on loan to the Mexican club, is now packing his bags for a permanent move to Central America, as the third-ranked team in the league announced last Friday.
According to media reports, Stuttgart will receive a transfer fee of approximately €750,000 for the Argentine. Klimowicz joined the then second-division club during the summer of 2019 but struggled to cement a spot in the Stuttgart squad when they returned to the top flight. A loan to Arminia Bielefeld in September 2022 followed by a subsequent loan to San Luis in January 2023 were the only opportunities he managed to get.
A New Journey Begins for Mateo Klimowicz
Saying goodbye to Germany and heading off to Mexico opens a new chapter in Klimowicz's career. Born in Argentina, this move marks his first permanent transfer outside of Germany, with stints at both VfB Stuttgart and Arminia Bielefeld in the Bundesliga.
The move to Atlético San Luis puts Klimowicz in a unique position to make a name for himself in Central America. It remains to be seen how this adventure unfolds for the young player, who is eager to prove himself on a new stage.
VfB Stuttgart Moves On
Based in Baden-Württemberg, VfB Stuttgart has a rich soccer history and will continue to compete in the Bundesliga without Klimowicz's services. The sale of Klimowicz will create room for fresh talents to emerge within the club as they prepare for the upcoming Bundesliga season.
By making this sale, VfB Stuttgart aims to rebuild their attacking line and set the stage for a successful run in the German top-tier league. The club's management expresses confidence in its young players and the ability to adapt to new challenges.
