Fortuna agree deal with VfB defender, but there’s a catch | OneFootball

As early as the end of December, it was reported that Fortuna Düsseldorf, according to information from 'Sky', is interested in a permanent signing of Christopher Olivier from VfB Stuttgart.

The second division club from Germany has basically reached an agreement with the 19-year-old from Vorarlberg regarding a transfer. Olivier himself is open to a move from VfB's second team to Düsseldorf.

Currently, however, negotiations between the two clubs are not progressing. After an exchange between the club officials, the transfer has initially been put on hold. As Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg reports, a loan is not an option for Düsseldorf’s sporting director Sven Mislintat – only a permanent transfer is being considered.

The defender's contract with VfB Stuttgart runs until 2028. At the moment, Olivier is playing in the 3rd division for the Swabians' second team. Already at the beginning of December, there were also reports of interest from his homeland: According to Sky, LASK, Sturm Graz, and SK Rapid are said to have observed the U21 national player.

The trained right-back has made 17 appearances so far this season in the 3rd division for Stuttgart II, providing two assists.
