VfB Stuttgart has landed a transfer coup: David Preu is moving from Union Berlin to the second team of VfB. The 21-year-old attacker is leaving Union Berlin after seven years.

What happened?

David Preu joined Viktoria Berlin's youth development center in 2019 and went through all the youth teams.

Why the transfer is important

For the young player, who wanted to break into the Berlin squad, the playing time was not enough. Preu now hopes to get more playing time in Stuttgart, where VfB currently stands 4th in the Bundesliga with 62 points and 71 goals, 27 points behind leaders Bayern München.

What comes next?

VfB Stuttgart wants to strengthen the second team, which plays in the third league, with the transfer of David Preu. The club hopes that Preu can prove his skills and recommend himself for the first team. With this transfer, VfB Stuttgart wants to increase its chances of success in the upcoming season, after the team had a good start in the last season with 18 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses from 34 games, but won only one of the last five games and lost two, including the last result against Bayern München with a score of 3-0 on May 23, 2026.
