An agreement on a new contract between VfB Stuttgart and Ramon Hendriks cannot currently be reached because the club will not meet the player's salary demands. Kicker reports that the salary demands are for approximately 3 to 3.5 million euros per year and that they were submitted by Hendriks' agent. The same source states that negotiations between the player and the club are currently at a standstill. Hendriks believes he is deserving of a substantial salary increase.

According to a 'Sky' report, Ramon Hendriks and his advisors have broken off negotiations with VfB Stuttgart over a contract extension for the time being. The reason is that the defender will not sign at the most recently offered terms. Talks would be resumed if VfB Stuttgart approaches Hendriks again with a better offer, which must be approved by the supervisory board. Hendriks is under contract at VfB Stuttgart until 2028 and currently earns a base salary of approximately one million euros.

Bild reports that VfB Stuttgart wants to extend the contract of Ramon Hendriks and that negotiations have started. Stuttgart rejected a 15 million euro offer from Nottingham Forest for Hendriks in the winter. The player's current contract is strongly performance-based, and it is expected he will earn significantly more if he extends.

The Swabians are planning to offer the 24-year-old Dutch centre-back a new contract. The Dutchman's current contract apparently does not reflect his improved performance in the past season, during which he made 31 appearances and provided 3 assists in the Bundesliga. Although the defender is under contract in Stuttgart until 2028, he is one of the lowest-paid players in the squad with a basic salary of around one million euros. Contract talks with the left-footed player are to be initiated by July at the latest, partly to discourage potential interested parties such as Borussia Dortmund. Hendriks joined Stuttgart from Feyenoord in July 2024 for a reported fee of around €700,000. In March 2026, reports indicated the club's asking price begins at €40 million, after an informal inquiry of around €15 million from Nottingham Forest was reportedly rejected in February 2026. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €25.00m.
