Stuttgart are reportedly exploring a move for Eintracht Frankfurt attacking midfielder Farès Chaïbi, with the Bundesliga switch currently rated at a 15% probability.
The 23-year-old, who represents Algeria and also holds French nationality, has emerged as a potential target for VfB as they assess creative options for next season. Chaïbi’s current market value is listed at €15.00m, a figure that would make any deal a significant outlay for Stuttgart should talks progress.
Chaïbi joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Toulouse on 30 August 2023, having risen through the French club’s youth ranks via FC Lyon and Toulouse’s U19 and B teams. Since arriving in Germany he has been used primarily as an attacking midfielder, wearing the number 8 shirt and operating from central areas with a right-footed preference.
There is no publicly available end date on his Frankfurt contract in the data provided, which has fuelled speculation that the club may look to cash in before they risk losing value, or even face a future scenario where he could move on as a free agent if his deal runs down. For now, though, the move remains at rumour stage, with no agreement reported between the clubs.
Born in Lyon on 28 November 2002 and standing at 1.83m, Chaïbi built his reputation in Ligue 1 with Toulouse before his market value rose sharply, jumping from €50,000 at Toulouse B in June 2022 to €10m by March 2023. His valuation has fluctuated since arriving in Frankfurt but has stabilised again at €15m as of late 2025.
Recent performances for Eintracht have kept him on the radar in Germany, including a March 2026 league outing where he featured in a tight Bundesliga encounter for Frankfurt, contributing in open play despite his side failing to find a breakthrough in a low‑scoring contest.
If Stuttgart formalise their interest and a deal can be struck, a move to the Mercedes-Benz Arena could prove a pivotal step in Chaïbi’s career, offering the chance to reassert his value in the Bundesliga and shape his reputation as one of the division’s more inventive midfielders.
