VfB Stuttgart eye Ibrahim Maza and Muhammed Damar as potential replacements for Enzo Millot | OneFootball

Bild reports that VfB Stuttgart are eyeing Ibrahim Maza and Muhammed Damar as potential replacements for Enzo Millot with a departure potentially on the cards in the summer.

Millot has a release clause in his Stuttgart contract that is worth €22m and is valid in the summer. How serious Stuttgart are about pursuing the 2.Bundesliga talents depend on if the Frenchman leaves or not.

Damar is currently on loan at 2.Bundesliga side Elversberg from fellow Bundesliga side Hoffenheim. The 20-year-old’s parent club would like to extend his contract, which expires in 2026, but he is more interested in leaving. Stuttgart are not the only team interested, despite holding initial talks with Damar, Borussia Mönchengladbach, 1.FC Köln and Marseille are also interested.

When it comes to Maza, the Algerian will more than likely leave Hertha Berlin this summer, regardless of whether they even come close to promotion back to the Bundesliga or not. The 19-year-old has a release clause in his contract that is dependent on a variety of different conditions, but it is likely that Hertha will earn a double-digit million fee for Maza.
