What happened. Demirović told reporters at Stuttgart's pre-season camp that he never considered leaving the club this summer, despite reported interest from European clubs.

• He scored nine goals in 19 Bundesliga games from January onwards.
• He formed a strong partnership with Deniz Undav in the second half of the season.
• He missed nearly two months with a foot injury last season.

“Leaving was never an option for me. I heard about the rumours while I was away, but I always said I wanted to stay at VfB.”

— Ermedin Demirović

Stuttgart finished fourth and qualified for the Champions League, with Demirović set to continue under coach Sebastian Hoeneß.
