Stuttgart interested in Roma defender Zeki Çelik

The Turkish international's future at the club is uncertain, prompting potential transfer interest from several clubs.


Zeki Çelik, a 29-year-old Right-Back, is of interest to Bundesliga club Stuttgart as his future at Roma remains uncertain with his contract expiring on June 30. Renewal talks have stalled. The player's agents have reportedly requested a net salary of €4 million per year, while Roma has offered a maximum of €2.5 million, a figure the club is unwilling to meet.

Juventus is also monitoring the Turkish international's contract situation. There is further interest from the Premier League, where clubs such as Newcastle and Fulham have been mentioned. Additionally, some British newspapers have linked him to Liverpool. Çelik transferred to Roma from LOSC Lille in July 2022 for a fee reported to be €7.0M and has earned 58 caps for Türkiye, scoring 3 goals. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €12.00m.
