Bundesliga Clubs Circle as Stuttgart Prepare Offer for Barça Talent Noah Darvich
According to Kicker, VfB Stuttgart’s long-standing interest in Noah Darvich is about to take a decisive step, with the club preparing a concrete offer for the FC Barcelona midfielder. The 18-year-old, widely regarded as one of Germany’s most promising youth talents, appears poised for a return to the Bundesliga just a year after leaving.
Darvich, who joined Barcelona from SC Freiburg for €2.5 million in August 2023, has spent the past season developing with Barça Atlètic, the club’s reserve team. While he has yet to make a senior appearance for the La Liga giants, his pedigree and potential continue to attract attention across Europe particularly in Germany.
Interest in the German-Iraqi attacking midfielder extends far beyond Stuttgart. Mundo Deportivo reports that Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen are all monitoring the situation closely. With multiple top-flight German clubs vying for his signature, a return to the Bundesliga appears increasingly likely.
Darvich rose to prominence as the captain of Germany’s U17 national team, leading them to both the European Championship and World Cup titles under current senior women’s head coach Christian Wück. His leadership, technique, and versatility in attacking midfield roles have made him a standout among his generation.
One of the biggest unknowns surrounding the potential transfer is the value of the release clause reportedly included in his Barcelona contract. Though Darvich’s current market value is estimated at €2 million, sources suggest the actual buyout figure could be higher, given his age and international credentials.
Stuttgart, under sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth, have prioritized adding more youth and technical quality to their midfield, especially with potential outgoing transfers looming. Signing Darvich would fit that strategy perfectly, though they will face stiff competition from Bundesliga’s elite.
With the summer window heating up, and Darvich’s stock continuing to rise, his next move could not only define his career trajectory but also mark a major coup for whichever club secures his services. Expect developments in the coming weeks, as Stuttgart and others prepare their bids.
