VfB Stuttgart are set to offer Deniz Undav a new and improved contract this week, according to Sky Germany. The proposed deal would extend the striker’s stay with the Bundesliga club until 2029 and is valued at over €20 million, encompassing salary, bonuses, and a signing fee.
Negotiations between Stuttgart and Undav’s representatives have been ongoing for several weeks, with both parties reportedly making headway towards an agreement. However, a final consensus has yet to be reached as of Tuesday. The club are hoping to finalize the extension before the commencement of the World Cup on June 11, with Undav expected to be part of the German national team squad.
Undav enjoyed a prolific 2025/26 season, establishing himself as a key player for Stuttgart. He registered 25 goals and 14 assists in 46 appearances across all competitions, contributing significantly to the club’s strong league performance. His form has made him a focal point of Stuttgart’s attack and a valuable asset to the team.
Undav joined Stuttgart in the summer of 2024 from Union Berlin, quickly becoming a fan favorite with his goal-scoring ability and work rate. Prior to his move to the capital, he had spent two seasons with Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, though he saw limited first-team action. His return to Germany has clearly revitalized his career, and Stuttgart are keen to secure his services for the long term.
The proposed contract extension reflects Undav’s importance to Stuttgart’s plans and demonstrates the club’s ambition to build a competitive squad. Securing his future will provide stability to the attack and potentially allow the club to focus on strengthening other areas of the team in upcoming transfer windows. This move solidifies Stuttgart’s position as a growing force in the Bundesliga.
