“I don’t know what will happen in the summer.”

 

Matarazzo added the quality of clubs that are interested in acquiring is the services of Sosa in the summer speaks volumes about the development he has undergone at Stuttgart.

 

 

“It speaks for Borna’s development and quality when such clubs are interested in him.

 

“The players can put themselves in the spotlight by doing well, that’s our way.”

 

Sosa’s current deal at Stuttgart will only expire in the summer of 2025 and it has been claimed they are looking for a fee in the €25m range for him.
