  • Dzenan Pejcinovic is set to leave VfL Wolfsburg for VfB Stuttgart.
  • VfL Wolfsburg confirmed an agreement has been reached with another club for the transfer of the 21-year-old striker.
  • The transfer fee is reportedly around 25 million euros, with the deal expected to be made public on Sunday.

Striker Dzenan Pejcinovic is on the verge of leaving VfL Wolfsburg to join fellow Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart. VfL officials confirmed after their 0-0 draw against 1. FC Kaiserslautern that an agreement has been reached with another club for the transfer of the 21-year-old.

Wolfsburg coach Tobias Strobl explained Pejcinovic's absence from the squad, stating that a clear signal from the club indicated the transfer was in its final stages. "It came a very clear signal from the club that they are on the finishing line, and with that it was clear that he would no longer be available to us as a substitute," Strobl said.

Sporting director Pirmin Schwegler confirmed the agreement with "another club" after the match, noting that they had chosen not to release the information before the game to avoid causing unrest. Wolfsburg had been seeking around 25 million euros for Pejcinovic, a figure Stuttgart was initially reluctant to meet.

Both clubs have apparently found a solution, and the transfer is expected to be officially announced on Sunday. Pejcinovic was in the squad for the Kaiserslautern match but did not feature.
