A player who is an undisputed starter looks different. Maximilian Mittelstädt has recently had to be content with a spot on the bench at VfB Stuttgart. Sometimes he at least got a short stint, but other times he was doomed to watch for the entire match.
The left-back cannot be satisfied with this situation, especially considering the fight for a spot in the German national team squad for the World Cup this summer.

According to the portal 'Absolut Fußball', the officials at Stuttgart are also not entirely happy with the current performance of the 28-year-old and are therefore already preparing for his departure in the summer.
On one hand, the bosses are reportedly keeping a close eye on the market for left-back positions and are exploring options for the next transfer window.
On the other hand, VfB is certainly also looking at the money. Mittelstädt is under contract until 2028. A summer transfer could bring in a good transfer fee.
As a successor, Stuttgart reportedly has Flávio Nazinho from Cercle Brugge on their list, according to 'Absolut Fußball'.
SSC Napoli is among those interested in a transfer of Mittelstädt.
