According to German footballing magazine Kicker, the deal also includes bonuses for Faghir's Danish developmental club.
"Wahid is a player we've been watching for some time," VfB sporting director Sven Mislintat said in a statement, "His development thus far has been very encouraging and we see a lot of potential in him."
Faghir recently played against Germany in the UEFA U21 European Championship, scoring a memorable goal shortly after coming on as a substitute in the quarterfinal loss.
Stuttgart announced that Faghir, having broken off training with the Danish U21s to attend his Stuttgart medical, would immediately return to his international squad and join his new club team after the break.
