Football Bundesliga: Demirovic Wants to Stay at VfB, Even with Pejcinovic Transfer Possible

Striker Ermedin Demirovic has affirmed his commitment to VfB Stuttgart, stating his desire to remain with the Bundesliga club and continue scoring goals. Despite the potential arrival of new competition in the form of Dzenan Pejcinovic from VfL Wolfsburg, Demirovic remains focused on his role with Stuttgart.

“

I said I want to stay here. For me, there is nothing new in my head, for me everything has remained the same as before the World Cup.

"I said I want to stay here. For me, there is nothing new in my head, for me everything has remained the same as before the World Cup," Demirovic stated during VfB's training camp. Stuttgart is reportedly pursuing Pejcinovic, a transfer that would introduce significant competition for Demirovic in the forward position. However, VfB's sporting director, Fabian Wohlgemuth, indicated that the clubs are far from an agreement, with Wolfsburg reportedly demanding 25 million euros.

VfB coach Sebastian Hoeneß has also voiced his commitment to keeping Demirovic, emphasizing his importance to the team. "My goal is always to have the best players at VfB, and Medo is one of our best players," Hoeneß declared, refuting rumors that he would consider selling Demirovic if Pejcinovic were signed.

Demirovic's contract with Stuttgart runs until June 30, 2028. He acknowledged Pejcinovic as a good player and stressed the importance of quality additions for the upcoming season. Looking ahead, Demirovic expressed a wish to play in England, particularly mentioning FC Arsenal and Kai Havertz as potential Champions League opponents. He also noted that he wouldn't refuse an offer from Liverpool.

It would be cool to play in England sometime.
