VfB Stuttgart is interested in 22-year-old Belgian defender Fedde Leysen from Union SG. The report also names Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen as interested parties from the Bundesliga, and Stuttgart is said to have the strongest interest in the player. Other clubs that have been linked with Leysen include West Ham United, Napoli, and Fiorentina.

A potential transfer fee of €15 to €20 million has been mentioned, a figure considered improbable given the player is a substitute and has an estimated market value of €5 million. Leysen's contract with Union SG runs for another three years. He has been capped twice by the Belgium U21 national team.
