VfB Stuttgart eye Emmanuel Agbadou for defensive reinforcement

VfB Stuttgart are reportedly interested in acquiring Ivorian central defender Emmanuel Agbadou as part of their efforts to bolster their defensive lineup. The 27-year-old has been a regular starter for Stade de Reims this season, featuring in 12 of the club’s 13 Ligue 1 matches, maintaining a starting rate of 92%.

Agbadou, who extended his contract with Reims until June 2028 last September, is valued at €9 million by Transfermarkt.

He currently earns €1.18 million annually, equivalent to 767 million FCFA. Stuttgart’s interest in the player comes as they seek a reliable defender to strengthen their squad.

As Reims prepare for their upcoming match against Strasbourg, Agbadou’s future remains under scrutiny, with Stuttgart among the clubs showing keen interest.
