Leo Sauer Agrees to Hoffenheim Move as Stuttgart Submits Higher Bid

VfB Stuttgart has stepped up its pursuit of Feyenoord winger Leo Sauer by submitting an official transfer bid that outpaces an earlier offer from TSG Hoffenheim, according to Dutch outlet FR12.

Stuttgart Overtakes Hoffenheim in Transfer Race

The race for Sauer’s signature intensified when Stuttgart entered negotiations and tabled a higher bid than Hoffenheim’s previous proposal, according to FR12. Hoffenheim spent the prior week locked in discussions with the Rotterdam club over a potential move to Germany but failed to reach a definitive club-to-club agreement. While exact financial figures remain undisclosed by FR12, the publication notes that Sauer has already reached a personal agreement with Hoffenheim. Stuttgart’s elevated bid now forces the young winger and his representatives to evaluate whether to open talks with Die Schwaben or stick with his initial preference for Hoffenheim.

Feyenoord Demands Premium Valuation

Securing the talented forward will require a substantial financial commitment. According to FR12 reporting, Feyenoord has adopted a firm stance and is not planning to let Sauer leave cheaply. Any prospective buyer must put forward a sum that sits ‘rum above’ his estimated market value of approximately seven million euros.
