Stuttgart tried 183.1M SVC twice, blinked to 149.1M, then put the full 183.1M back on. Across four separate listings, the market’s answer has not changed: not one bid.

The live transfer search shows Stuttgart’s unnamed, 91-rated forward available for a minimum of 183,099,227 SVC. That is the seller’s asking price, love — not an offer from a buying club. The high-bid field is empty, the auction remains unstarted and there is no end time.

Four goes at it

The auction archive records this two-week sequence, all in UTC:

• 7 July, 02:55: listed for 183.1M SVC.
• 8 July, 11:20: listed again for 183.1M.
• 15 July, 14:14: reduced to 149.1M.
• 16 July, 09:31: returned to 183.1M.

A search of the complete bid archive for the forward returns zero bids across all four auctions.

That third attempt was a proper price wobble: a 34M SVC cut, or 18.6%. It lasted only 19 hours and 16 minutes before Stuttgart restored the higher figure. Even the discounted ask was 9.77 times the player’s current game value.

The current figure is effectively the ceiling. His value is 15,258,268.98 SVC, making the minimum almost precisely 12 times that amount; the auction reports a maximum permissible bid of 183,099,227.77 SVC.

A rating surge — then a rough opener

Soccerverse’s live datapack has blank first-name and surname fields for the player, so there is no sound display name to publish. What the football file does confirm is a 30-year-old German centre-forward who can also operate at attacking midfield, with a 91 shooting rating.

His overall rating jumped from 87 to 91 on 4 July. Stuttgart placed the first 183.1M listing just over three days later.

He is now the highest-rated attacker in Stuttgart’s 29-player owned squad and fourth-highest player overall. Their next natural centre-forward is rated 88, so selling would remove the sharpest number from the attack.

There is production behind the rating. Last season he delivered eight league goals and four assists across 2,313 minutes, averaging 7.4.

Season Four began rather differently. He completed all 90 minutes of Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat by Dortmund, recording three shots and two key passes but no goal or assist. His match rating was 4.0 — the lowest among Stuttgart’s starters. Two days later, he was absent from the recorded 18-player group for the 1-1 continental draw at Dortmund.

Stuttgart currently hold 153.2M SVC, meaning their asking price is 29.9M above the club’s entire present balance. Tidy money if somebody pays it. So far, nobody has even opened the auction.

Next comes Wednesday’s league trip to Leverkusen, followed by Bayern at home on Saturday. Two things to watch: whether the mystery forward returns to the squad, and whether Stuttgart’s next price cut lasts longer than 19 hours.
