The transfer saga is over. Dženan Pejčinović, the young Wolfsburg striker, will continue his career at Stuttgart, with German media and the club itself confirming the deal is worth €25 million. The news was announced on Saturday, August 9, 2026, a day after Pejčinović was left out of his team's lineup for the league match.

Benched Due to Negotiations

Wolfsburg opened their 2. Bundesliga season on Friday, August 8, with an away match against Kaiserslautern. The game ended goalless, 0-0, and Pejčinović spent the entire match on the substitutes' bench. After the match, coach Dieter Hecking explained the reason for his absence from the pitch.

Hecking told Kicker that an agreement had been reached with a club regarding the sale of the young striker. Although he did not directly name Stuttgart, it is clear that this is the club in question, given the weeks of speculation and negotiations reported by Sky Sport.

Stuttgart Wins the Battle with Porto

Pejčinović had previously reached a personal agreement with Stuttgart and insisted on moving to that club. His desire was so strong that he turned down a lucrative offer from Portuguese side Porto. Stuttgart initially offered €22 million, but Wolfsburg held out for €25 million, which was ultimately accepted.

Stuttgart's sporting director, Fabian Wohlgemuth, confirmed last week that negotiations were ongoing. Stuttgart's coach, whose name is not mentioned in the source, described the talks between the clubs as very cordial, with a high level of mutual respect.

New Teammate and Potential International Switch

At Stuttgart, Pejčinović will be joined by Bosnia and Herzegovina international Ermedin Demirović, with whom he could form a formidable attacking partnership. Although he previously preferred playing for Germany, the lack of strikers in the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, an almost guaranteed spot on the roster, and Demirović's influence at the new club could change his decision.

This would mean the Dragons gaining a top-class attacking option for the next decade and beyond. The young striker's current market value on Transfermarkt is €15 million, and the fact that Stuttgart is willing to pay €25 million speaks volumes about the potential they see in him.
