According to reports from Owngoalnigeria, Nigerian international defender Jordan Torunarigha is nearing a move to German Bundesliga side VFB Stuttgart, who will feature in next season's UEFA Champions League.
Torunarigha, who has one cap for the Super Eagles, is currently playing for Belgian side Gent but has been linked to a transfer to Stuttgart, who finished second in the Bundesliga last season. The 26-year-old defender started his professional career in Germany and is said to be keen on returning to the country.
Stuttgart's participation in the Champions League is a significant factor in attracting Torunarigha, as he seeks to play at the highest level and boost his chances of earning more caps for Nigeria. The defender's potential move is reportedly valued at €2-3m, and all parties are working to complete the transfer before the start of pre-season training.
Torunarigha's addition would strengthen Stuttgart's defense ahead of their Champions League campaign, and his experience playing in Europe would be valuable to the team. The move would also benefit Torunarigha, who would be playing in one of Europe's top leagues and potentially increasing his visibility for the Super Eagles.
As the transfer window heats up, fans of Stuttgart and Nigerian football will be watching with interest to see if Torunarigha makes the move to the German side.
