VfB Stuttgart have made it clear: Jamie Leweling and Josha Vagnoman are not for sale. Despite interest from the Premier League, the two players remain in Stuttgart – at least for now.
Why the VfB leadership is drawing a line now
The approaches from England came, but VfB Stuttgart are standing firm. Both Leweling and Vagnoman are currently off the market, according to internal sources. Club leadership is banking on the two attacking players, who played key roles last season. League standing: 4th in Bundesliga, 62 pts, 18W-8D-8L – despite the narrow 0-3 loss to Bayern Munich on May 23, 2026.
Pre-season tests show the team in top form
On Thursday, the team resumed outdoor training. By Sunday, they delivered their first big statement: a 7-0 thrashing of a test opponent. Two double-digit scorers shone, alongside a spectacular overhead kick and a curling shot over the keeper. The VfB women’s team also made their mark, beating Mainz 2-1 in their second test.
What the Premier League interest means for the future
The refusal to sell Leweling and Vagnoman sends a message across the league. Both players are core members of the squad – at least for the coming weeks. If the situation changes, the club could rely on transfer fees. Currently, Stuttgart sit 27 points behind league leaders Bayern Munich in the title race.
Next step: gearing up for Bundesliga season 2026/27
Pre-season prep is in full swing. With a 7-0 win and a victory for the women’s team, VfB are showing they’re ready for the new campaign. Next fixture: vs Paris FC (at home, 2026-08-01). Fans have reason to be excited – even if the last five games ended LLDDW (1W-2D-2L).
