VfB Stuttgart are reportedly in negotiations with Hull City over a transfer for right-back Josha Vagnoman after the English club revived its interest in the 25-year-old. According to Sky Sports, talks between the two clubs are currently ongoing, with reports even suggesting that an agreement may already have been reached. Hull had previously attempted to sign Vagnoman in July, but Stuttgart rejected that approach.
The situation has now changed considerably heading into the final stages of the summer transfer window.

Get German Football News noted in our 2026/27 VfB Stuttgart tactical preview that Vagnoman remained one of several players who could still leave as Sebastian Hoeneß attempted to reduce an increasingly crowded squad. The emergence of Nikolas Nartey as a viable right-back option during pre-season has only increased the competition for minutes on that side of the defence.
An injury to Nartey nevertheless led to Vagnoman featuring in Stuttgart’s Bundesliga opener against Bayern Munich. The Germany international endured a difficult afternoon despite getting on the scoresheet. Vagnoman scored Stuttgart’s goal in the 57th minute. His evening ended poorly, however, as a late own goal contributed decisively to Bayern’s eventual victory.
Hull’s renewed interest now gives Stuttgart the opportunity to streamline their defensive options before the window closes. Vagnoman has been with VfB since joining from Hamburger SV in 2022 and has accumulated significant Bundesliga experience during his time in Stuttgart.
