VfB Stuttgart signs Dzenan Pejcinovic, RB Leipzig intervenes at the last minute to win the striker as an Asllani alternative. The transfer is expected to be completed soon, with Pejcinovic set to undergo a medical check on Monday. The 25-year-old striker was initially linked with VfL Wolfsburg, but the deal fell through after Asllani failed his medical check. RB Leipzig was reportedly interested in signing Asllani, but the deal was too expensive. Pejcinovic, who has already rejected an offer from FC Porto, will earn around 2.5 million euros per year at VfB Stuttgart. The transfer is a significant boost for the team, which is currently fourth in the Bundesliga. The team has scored 71 goals and conceded 49 cards in the last season, with a 27-point gap to leaders Bayern München. The last match ended in a 2-2 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt. In the last five games, VfB Stuttgart has 2 wins and 3 draws. The signing of Pejcinovic will strengthen the team's attack.
