Frans Krätzig impressed early at Bayern Munich but has struggled for minutes after a loan to Austria Vienna, now faces competition at VfB Stuttgart.

Despite limited appearances as a backup left back to Maximilian Mittelstädt, VfB Stuttgart is pleased with Krätzig’s performances and aims to develop him.

The buy option for Krätzig is estimated around €5 million, reflecting Bayern's strategy to encourage clubs to invest in young talents.
