VfB Stuttgart join race to sign French-Ivorian forward Ange-Yoan Bonny

German club VfB Stuttgart have joined the race to sign France-born forward of Ivorian descent Ange-Yoan Bonny.

The Bundesliga club is considering securing the services of the in-demand striker who is reported to have agreed a move to Italian giants Inter Milan.

It is reported that the 21-year-old forward, currently on the books of Parma, is set to sign a five-year contract with Inter, which will run until June 2030.

The agreement is reportedly worth €2 million per season, excluding performance-related bonuses.

While personal terms with the player are already in place, Inter are still negotiating with Parma, who value Bonny at €20 million.

An earlier attempt to include youngster Pio Esposito in the deal was rejected by Inter.

Instead, discussions are now focused on Sebastiano Esposito, who recently returned from a loan spell at Empoli. He is valued between €7–8 million, potentially lowering Inter’s cash outlay for Bonny to around €12–15 million.

Although Inter Milan are leading the race to sign Bonny, Stuttgart want to push to beat the Italians to the signature of the attacker.
