BVB eye Stuttgart again – Jamie Leweling on their minds | OneFootball

Gregor Kobel, Waldemar Anton and Serhou Guirassy are three former VfB Stuttgart professionals who form part of Borussia Dortmund’s central spine. In recent days, BVB are said to have once again looked at another Stuttgart player, who might possibly have become a more concrete topic if Fabio Silva, who had been considered a transfer candidate up until deadline day, had left the club.

However, Silva stayed despite reportedly receiving numerous inquiries from across Europe, opting instead to face the competition in Dortmund. That meant Borussia’s decision-makers could leave Plan B in the drawer — possibly involving Jamie Leweling. Unlike Silva, the Germany international is not a center-forward, but is primarily at home out wide, and is said to be highly rated by head coach Niko Kovac.

Kovac is said to value the 25-year-old so highly that sporting director Ole Book looked into the matter. In the end, though, no concrete efforts were made — efforts that in any case would only have had limited chances of success. After all, Stuttgart already turned down interested club AFC Bournemouth in the winter despite an offer of more than €40 million. And now AS Roma were prepared to put more than €35 million on the table for Leweling. But the Giallorossi also ended up empty-handed.

Contract in Stuttgart until 2029

Leweling, who is still under contract until 2029, will therefore remain at VfB Stuttgart for the time being and is likely to try to recommend himself in the Swabians’ shirt to Germany head coach Jürgen Klopp for the national team’s rebuild.

Given Kovac’s high regard for him, it cannot be ruled out that BVB will keep Leweling on their radar for the coming transfer windows and then make a move to bring the Nuremberg-born player to Dortmund.
