The midfielder was born in Stuttgart but never played for VfB in his youth, only for the Kickers.

Starting this summer, the 31-year-old could wear the chest ring on the jersey for the first time. Particularly convenient: No transfer fee is required for the TSG key player, who has scored eight times in 17 appearances across all competitions this season.

Prömel's contract runs until the end of June 2026, so he is carefully considering his options. According to 'Sky', concrete negotiations have already taken place with VfB, and a decision is expected in the coming days.
