VfL Bochum is monitoring Jozo Stanić, a 26-year-old from St. Gallen. A transfer for the player is financially contingent on VfL Bochum selling some of their own players during the winter. Candidates for departure include Michael Obafemi, Ibrahim Sissoko, Mathis Clairicia, or Colin Kleine-Bekel; however, there has so far been no interest from other parties in them.
