VfB Stuttgart target Nazinho currently seen as too expensive

Sky Germany reports that VfB Stuttgart target Nazinho of Cercle Brugge is currently seen as too expensive. 

The Swabians have been linked to the Portuguese under-21 international as a backup option for Maximilian Mittelstädt, and have already held talks with the player’s representatives. 

However, Cercle are currently demanding €6-8m, who has played 22 times, scoring three and assisting four. The current fee is seen as too expensive for Stuttgart.

Stuttgart’s left-back options:

Behind Mittelstädt, who is one of the best left-backs in the league, Sebastian Hoeneß does not have a recognised left-back. Natural centre-back Ramon Hendriks is usually used as the back-up option. 

Considering that VfB are looking to compete on multiple fronts in the future, it would make sense to buy a left-back in the summer. Add to this, there are consistent rumours about the future of Mittelstädt, with Italian media most recently linking him with a move to defending champions Napoli.
