Manchester United eyes VfB Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch

Manchester United is considering making official contact with VfB Stuttgart regarding the transfer of 20-year-old centre-back Finn Jeltsch. The English club is monitoring the German defender as part of a long-term strategy to strengthen its defensive line, specifically valuing his technical ability and composure under pressure.

Jeltsch faces significant competition for a move, with Bayern Munich reportedly being among the strongest contenders. Other major European clubs, including Liverpool, Arsenal, and Juventus, have also been linked to the player.

VfB Stuttgart holds significant negotiating leverage as Jeltsch is under contract until June 2030. While his market value is estimated around 35 million euros, the player has publicly stated his current focus remains on his performances with Stuttgart and the opportunity to play in the Champions League.
