VfB Stuttgart made an offer to FC Augsburg for Alexis Claude-Maurice. Initially, the offer was 22 million euros, but it was later increased to over 25 million euros. However, FC Augsburg was not convinced to sell since they couldn't find an adequate replacement at the last minute.

VfB Stuttgart intensified efforts to acquire Alexis Claude-Maurice with a 22 million Euro offer, which was immediately rejected by FC Augsburg.

Alexis Claude-Maurice is seen as a priority to replace Nick Woltemade at Stuttgart. Stuttgart is interested in signing him before the end of the transfer window. Claude-Maurice is under contract until 2026 and is a key player for Augsburg. Sandro Wagner, the manager, wants to keep him, but the club might be open to discussions if an offer of around 25 million euros is made. Currently injured, he is expected to return after the international break.

FC Augsburg is willing to let Alexis Claude-Maurice leave only for a record fee. According to 'Sport Bild', the French player should bring in at least as much as Ermedin Demirovic did last summer, who transferred to VfB Stuttgart for 21 million Euros. VfB Stuttgart is reportedly interested in adding Claude-Maurice to their list.
