VfL Wolfsburg's interest in 19-year-old Mirza Catovic became known one day after he was named man of the match for VfB Stuttgart's U19s in the DFB-Pokal final against Wolfsburg. Several scouts were present at the game for the player. Alongside Wolfsburg, RB Salzburg and TSG Hoffenheim also remain interested. A €3.5 million transfer for Catovic to Salzburg did not proceed in the winter because VfB Stuttgart gave their approval too late. A summer transfer is a possibility if his prospects for first-team playing time do not improve.
