Stuttgart strong for Pavlidis – How much will the Germans give to get him from Alkmaar?

Stuttgart has been a Greek area of ​​interest for several years. The reasons and motivations are different, the last being the presence of Constantinos Mavropanos in the Swedes’ potential and the undiminished scenario regarding the future of the international centre-back and a – most likely – transfer of him.

He’s not the only one anymore as Stuttgart this summer have their sights set on another lucrative Greece international in Vangelis Pavlidis, who is also in transfer status.

Stuttgart, who secured their place in the Bundesliga via the play-offs, exercised the takeover of last season’s top scorer Serju Giarci by paying Rennes €9m. However, this move was made with the goal of a more profitable outright sale of the African striker.

The 27-year-old Girassi’s main interest is Ajax, with Stuttgart focusing on Pavlidis in their attacking line the next day. According to information from Sportish, the German club has submitted two proposals to AZ, the last of which amounts to 13 million euros (which part of this is fixed and which part is in bonuses is not clear).

An offer still far from the Dutch club’s requirements (he has already completed the sale of Raiders to Milan and Kerkez to Bournemouth, raising more than €40m in total), but Stuttgart are showing a willingness to further increase their offer, but especially quickly, knowing the competition there is for Pavlidis, on whose positive attitude they are counting anyway.

It remains to be seen whether these will be enough to overcome the resistance (and increased demands) from AZ. What is certain is that Stuttgart want Pavlidis, they are showing it and are in a hurry to decide whether they can sign him or move on to one of the next options on their relevant list.
