Official | Lorenz Assignon completes Stuttgart transfer | OneFootball

Lorenz Assignon (24) has completed a permanent move from Stade Rennais to Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart.

Having joined Rennes’ academy in 2015, Assignon broke into the first team in 2021 and has since made over 70 appearances in all competitions. The Frenchman also spent time on loan at Bastia and Burnley, gaining experience across Ligue 2 and the Premier League.

Returning from his loan spell at Burnley, Assignon featured prominently in a Rennes side that struggled last season as they finished mid-table. He played 34 games in all competitions last season, scoring four goals and registering five assists during that time. The versatile defender now gets the move away from his formative club. Stuttgart confirmed on Friday that the Frenchman was joining on a four-year deal, which runs until the summer of 2029.

While the fee has not been disclosed, reports suggest that, including bonuses, the deal is worth around €15m.
