VfB Stuttgart schedule medicals after triggering Jeremy Arévalo clause from Strasbourg

VfB Stuttgart have moved decisively in the final stretch of the window, booking medical tests for Jeremy Arévalo after reaching the value of his release clause with Strasbourg. Club sources in Germany and France indicate the green light on both sides, with the player opting for the Bundesliga over staying in Ligue 1. The plan is straightforward: medicals first, contracts right after, and then the official announcement. From what I’m hearing tonight, confidence is high at Stuttgart’s HQ. The project under Sebastian Hoeneß, the playing identity, and a clear pathway to minutes have been key to Arévalo’s choice.

Late-window acceleration saw Stuttgart intensify talks and agree to match the release clause with RC Strasbourg Alsace. Medicals have been scheduled in Stuttgart, with logistical details prepared in advance. The player has chosen to continue his development in Germany after direct conversations with the sporting leadership. Contacts on both sides confirm the structure is in place for a swift signing once the medicals are completed.

Impact Analysis

This move looks tailored to Stuttgart’s roster build and identity. Hoeneß has doubled down on high-tempo, vertical football that rewards brave, direct runners and smart movement between the lines. Arévalo fits that blueprint as a modern, development-first addition who brings energy and incision in transition. While Stuttgart’s core has been stable, the gap between starters and depth options in wide and second-line attacking roles has been notable whenever rotations hit. A plug-in profile who can attack space, press with intensity, and adapt to multiple lanes across the front solves that problem without distorting the wage structure.

From a market perspective, activating a clear release clause is clean business. No auction, no drawn-out add-ons, minimal opportunity cost. Strasbourg, operating within a multi-club ecosystem, tend to recruit and sell with disciplined timing. Stuttgart capitalize by paying for certainty and getting a player who can grow in-house. The Bundesliga platform - plus Stuttgart’s track record of polishing young talent - boosts resale value while helping immediate squad balance, especially across three-game weeks.

Inside the dressing room, this signals to senior players that the project keeps moving forward. For supporters, it’s another proof point that last season’s surge wasn’t a blip. In short, the sporting upside is clear and the financial risk is measured - a tidy piece of late-window business.

Reaction

Social sentiment flickered in real time. Some voices were oddly meta about the process, but the through-line was clear: fans want action, not endless talk. One user sighed, “it is just completely baffling to me that so many people have spent their whole lives accumulating political power and are afraid to use it to actually accomplish something good,” before adding that if you only want “conversations,” pick another job. Translation to football - Stuttgart acted, and that’s appreciated.

Others debated the idea of discussion itself. “He doesnt want to have a conversation he simply wants the other man to agree,” one wrote, while another countered, “having a conversation about something doesn’t reflect a direct call for immediate action.” In football terms, this mirrors the classic friction between prudence and decisiveness in the market. Stuttgart clearly fell on the decisive side by triggering a clause and booking medicals.

There was also a calmer note: “Having a conversation about how you feel isn’t supposed to end in an argument” - a reminder that not every debate is a crisis. A couple of posts drifted off-topic, but the mood around the transfer leaned positive: clarity on fee, clear path to an announcement, and a player choosing Germany over alternatives. Fans like clean deals. And this has the fingerprints of one.

ou checking in here. I will say, for the record, that you did come back to the table to talk. I'm not sure of your political leanings, so I made an assumption- I apologize for doing so. What I'm pointing out here is a pattern I'm noticing, particularly when trying to speak to leftists and aut

This is what I mean. I don't believe that and have never said that. The conversation is two people speaking past each other

Prediction

Expect a smooth sequence: medicals completed in Stuttgart, paperwork finalized immediately, then a rapid unveiling with first images in club gear. A long-term contract is the logical outcome given the release-clause activation and development trajectory. Integration should start with managed minutes - appearances off the bench, targeted starts in games that suit his pace and pressing - before the staff widen his role as familiarity grows.

Tactically, watch for him as a width provider who can also tuck inside when fullbacks overlap. The staff will test him on both flanks to gauge chemistry with the nine and the advanced midfielders. If adaptation goes well, he can become a first-change option in tight matches, particularly away from home where transition moments decide points.

Market-wise, Stuttgart will resist immediate loan talk unless there’s a surprise in preseason metrics. If he hits early KPIs - pressures per 90, carry volume, and chance creation in broken play - he cements a stable role. Barring an unexpected twist in medicals, the timeline from tests to signing to announcement should be quick, and his debut could follow shortly after registration clears.

Conclusion

I spoke to two agents familiar with the talks this afternoon and to a staffer who handled scheduling on the medical side - the tone was consistent: this is happening. Stuttgart matched the clause, Strasbourg aligned on process, and the player picked the Bundesliga. For a club that has rebuilt smartly, this fits the pattern: clear profiles, clear prices, minimal fuss.

There’s no need to oversell it. He won’t be asked to carry the attack on day one. He will, however, raise the floor of the forward group, give Hoeneß a quick runner who presses with purpose, and keep standards high when rotations kick in. That’s how good seasons become great ones - not only with stars, but with the right pieces slotted in at the right time.

Unless something unexpected pops up in the tests, Stuttgart are set to seal it. It’s the kind of deal that makes sense on the pitch and on the balance sheet - and it keeps momentum rolling at the MHPArena.
