Overview

• Stuttgart extended the contract of 20-year-old academy graduate Laurin Ulrich before sending him on a season-long loan to 1. FC Magdeburg.
• After his sole Bundesliga appearance in November 2022 and few first-team opportunities, the club pursued a higher-level loan to accelerate his development.
• Ulrich rebounded from a five-game stint at SSV Ulm 1846 by scoring three goals and providing seven assists in 18 3. Liga matches for Stuttgart’s U21 side.
• He will reunite with coach Markus Fiedler at Magdeburg, who took over from Christian Titz and values Ulrich’s technical quality and game intelligence.
• Youth director Stephan Hildebrandt said the loan will give Ulrich the necessary minutes to return to Stuttgart stronger.
