New transfer row? VfB chief Rouven Kasper pushes for Bayern move | OneFootball

A significant change is brewing behind the scenes at VfB Stuttgart: Marketing board member Rouven Kasper has decided to leave the club and return to FC Bayern. This is reported by Sky and the Stuttgarter Zeitung.

According to the pay-TV channel, the 43-year-old has officially submitted his request to the supervisory board. Weeks ago, Kasper reportedly indicated internally that he wanted to seize the opportunity at the German record champions.

However, the transfer will not be straightforward. Kasper still has a long-term contract with VfB until 2028, having been extended just last year. Accordingly, the Swabians insist on a transfer fee for their manager, but as of now, no concrete negotiations with Bayern have taken place. According to Sky, these could begin soon.

This could lead to another transfer negotiation between Stuttgart and Bayern, similar to the failed transfer of Nick Woltemade.

Successful work in Stuttgart

In Munich, Kasper is intended as the successor to Michael Diederich, who currently holds the position of CFO. The marketing expert is already familiar with FC Bayern from his past: Before his time in Stuttgart, he worked from 2018 to 2021 as "President Asia" for the Munich club.

Since taking office in 2021, Kasper has been instrumental in restructuring VfB's marketing. Under his leadership, new sponsors were acquired, and the club's international activities were expanded.

Whether and when an agreement between Stuttgart and Munich will be reached remains open. However, it is clear: The next transfer negotiation between the two clubs is already on the horizon.
