Report: Leweling set for new Stuttgart contract

VfB Stuttgart are reportedly close to agreeing a new deal with Jamie Leweling.

Jamie Leweling is on the verge of putting pen to paper on a new contract with VfB Stuttgart until 2029, according to Sky Germany.

By extending his contract by a further year, the winger can look forward to a significant pay rise.

Importantly for Stuttgart, the release clause of €20-25 million in Leweling’s current contract won’t be included in his new deal, according to Sky.

Whether this means that Leweling will no longer have a release clause, or whether it will simply be set at a higher figure, is unclear.

Leweling has made great strides since joining Stuttgart on a season-long loan from Union Berlin prior to last season – a move that has since been made permanent for €5 million.

He played his first game for the German national team in October and scored on his debut.
