Chabot opens up on exit links

Jeff Chabot has addressed speculation about his VfB Stuttgart future amid reported interest from Juventus and Saudi clubs.

VfB Stuttgart centre-back Jeff Chabot has been linked with a summer transfer, with Juventus and Saudi Arabian clubs Al Nassr and Neom SC said to be interested.

The 27-year-old, however, says he currently has no plans to leave Stuttgart.

“These are just rumours – I can’t always do anything about them. When such rumours are out there, of course you hear them. It’s always hard to talk about – because those are big names. You’re flattered – but you don’t spend much time thinking about it,” Chabot told reporters at Stuttgart’s pre-season training camp.

“I haven’t had contact with anyone. I’m here – and that’s the only thing that matters,” he added.

“I’m very happy here – and I know what I’ve got here. This is a great club – I’m looking forward to the season.”

Chabot joined Stuttgart from 1. FC Köln for a reported €4 million fee last summer.
