Turkish defensive midfielder Atakan Karazor, 29, has lost both his starting place and his captaincy and is considered a candidate for departure. Stuttgart cannot afford to extend contracts with seven players, as it would exceed the budget. It is mentioned that Chabot, Mittelstädt, Karazor, Führich, and Demirovic are at an age where their resale value becomes a topic of discussion. The Turkish international has two caps for his country. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €8.00m. He has been linked with several clubs, including Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor.
