Jamie Leweling Uninterested in Bournemouth Move Despite Marco Rose Appointment

July 20, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling, a six-time German international, has once again rejected interest from Premier League club Bournemouth. Reports indicate that the 25-year-old remains disinclined to join the English side, even with the potential appointment of German coach Marco Rose for next season.

Stuttgart Relies on Leweling for Champions League Campaign

Leweling is anticipated to be a vital player for Stuttgart as they prepare for their return to the Champions League after a year's absence. Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß has emphasized his intention to assemble the strongest possible squad for the upcoming season.

However, Stuttgart has a history of selling key players, as seen in previous transfer windows with the departures of Wataru Endo, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Hiroki Ito, Serhou Guirassy, Waldemar Anton, Nick Woltemade, and Enzo Millot. Despite Hoeneß's stated desire to retain his top talent, sales have occurred.

With a 36-man squad, Stuttgart's roster is considered overly large, especially for a club competing in the Champions League. Leweling, valued at an estimated €40 million, is the second most valuable player in the VfB squad, behind his teammate Angelo Stiller (€45 million).

The club's transfer activity, including the €15 million permanent signing of Bilal El Khannouss from Leicester City, has resulted in an approximate summer transfer deficit of €16.2 million. While Leweling himself may not be keen on a move to Bournemouth, a transfer to the Premier League could still be a possibility.
