Overview
- CEO Alexander Wehrle said Leweling will remain at VfB through the end of the season and is not for sale in January.
- Leweling stated he feels comfortable at the club and does not consider a midseason move.
- Reports say AFC Bournemouth offered about €40 million for the 24-year-old, which Stuttgart rejected as the Premier League side seeks a Semenyo replacement after his €72 million move to Manchester City.
- Wehrle declared Stuttgart’s winter business complete after adding Jeremy Arévalo and letting Silas depart to Mainz, with loans for Yannik Keitel to Augsburg and Jovan Milosevic to Werder Bremen.
- Wehrle contrasted the situation with Nick Woltemade, who pushed to leave and joined Newcastle United last summer for a fee reported up to €90 million.
