Finn Jeltsch: Stuttgart resists interest from Manchester United and Juventus

VfB Stuttgart is reportedly reluctant to sell 20-year-old German defender Finn Jeltsch during the upcoming January transfer window. Despite growing interest from major European clubs, Stuttgart aims to retain the player to increase his value, potentially targeting a record sale in 2027.

Manchester United and Juventus are among the primary suitors monitoring the center-back. Other clubs linked to the player include Arsenal and Bayern Munich. While Jeltsch's market value is estimated at approximately €35 million, some reports suggest a transfer could command up to €50 million due to high demand.

Jeltsch, who joined Stuttgart in early 2025, has become a key figure in their defense, recently featuring in Champions League competition. Manchester United is looking to bolster its defensive line following recent performances, but Stuttgart maintains that a January sale would require a “very significant offer” to be considered.
