Overview
- VfB Stuttgart officially confirmed a contract extension with Deniz Undav that runs to 2029 with an option for a further year.
- The announcement followed media reports that the new deal is signed and that there is no release clause, a detail presented as reported information rather than a club financial disclosure.
- German outlets reported the financial terms as roughly €6 million a year in salary and an alleged €3 million signing bonus, but those figures come from press reporting not the club's audited statements.
- Undav has been a key performer for Stuttgart since joining on loan in 2023, earning a permanent move in 2024 for €30 million, helping win the 2025 DFB-Pokal and scoring 19 Bundesliga goals last season.
- The forward scored twice and set up another in Germany’s recent 4–0 friendly win over Finland and then told SPORT1 he was unsure about the contract’s signing, a remark that contrasted with the club’s later formal confirmation.
