VfB Stuttgart: Who will be the new Anton replacement?

The search for a talented central defender has become a central topic for VfB Stuttgart in the current transfer period. After the departure of Waldemar Anton to Borussia Dortmund, the club faces the challenge of forming a powerful defensive. This not only raises questions about the sporting future, but also shows the ambitious plans of the association to underpin the ambitions in the Bundesliga.

Why the search for a new defender is important

A competent central defender is of great importance for VfB Stuttgart to ensure stability in defense and to keep up with the upper table positions. Waldemar Anton played a key role on the defensive, and his departure could have a negative impact on the team if the appropriate replacement is not found in time.

Who are the potential new additions?

In the rumor mill, several names are currently appearing. Including the 1.92 meter tall Sepp van den Berg, which could be signed by Liverpool for 20 million euros. Van den Berg brought promising achievements for Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga last season, where he acted as a regular player.

Another contender is Arthur Theat, who already has a high market value after moving from Bologna to Stade Rennes in 2022 for 19 million euros. Dean Huijsen, a 19-year-old talent, is also on the wish list of the VfB. According to the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Stuttgarters have already given a bid for him, but other top clubs are also interested in him.

competition from the Bundesliga

The competition for the best talents in the Bundesliga is intense. In addition to VfB Stuttgart, well -known clubs such as Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Bayer 04 Leverkusen have an eye on Huijsen. This could also make negotiations for Stuttgart more difficult and drive up the prices.

financial considerations

The association management of the VfB has set clear financial framework. In order to sign a suitable central defender, investments of 10 to 15 million euros are targeted. But the detached amounts for the most sought -after players could put the plans of the association to the test.

outlook for the future

In the end it remains to be seen whether VfB Stuttgart can find the right defender in good time in order to get the defensive problems under control. The upcoming trip to Japan, which is intended as a marketing measure, may be without a new central defender. This could have a significant impact on the season preparation and influence the expectations of fans.
