Report: VfB Stuttgart wants Bayern Munich prospect Paul Wanner

For a loan this would be a great spot, but VfB Stuttgart might want to fully acquire Paul Wanner.

According to a report from Sky Sport journalist Dennis Bayer (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), VfB Stuttgart have a strong interest in Bayern Munich phenom Paul Wanner, who is on loan at FC Heidenheim.

While no serious talks have taken place yet, Stuttgart already has an idea of how it could work:

Stuttgart are interested in Paul Wanner as a potential replacement for Enzo Millot, who could leave the club in the summer via a €18-20m release clause. VfB are impressed with Wanner’s qualities and potential, his name was discussed internally. Still early stages, no concrete talks yet.

The Wanner situation is the proverbial elephant in the room for Bayern Munich. Would another loan make sense? Should be come back and compete for a spot next season? Should he be sold? Bayern Munich has options and Wanner has been patient.

At some point, though, the situation will hit a breaking point for one side or the other.
