Overview

• Lorenz Assignon joined VfB Stuttgart from Stade Rennes on June 6, 2025, under a contract running through June 30, 2029.
• The 24-year-old right-back arrived for an estimated €10–12 million, making him the third most expensive signing and the priciest defender in club history.
• In addition to four goals and five assists in 34 Ligue 1 matches last season, he featured in Europa League competition with Rennes over two campaigns.
• Sport director Christian Gentner praised Assignon’s technical skills and dynamism as an ideal match for Stuttgart’s playing philosophy.
• The arrival of Assignon puts pressure on existing options Pascal Stenzel and Josha Vagnoman for the first-team right-back role.
