Rieder wants permanent move to Stuttgart
Switzerland international Fabian Rieder joined VfB Stuttgart on a season-long loan deal from Stade Rennes last summer.
Speaking to Swiss newspaper Blick, the 22-year-old attacking midfielder has now revealed that he'd like to make the move permanent.
"I decided to go on loan to a club that suits me and my style of play, and where I have the feeling that they want to keep me for the long term," said Rieder.
Stuttgart are understood to have a purchase option in the region of €10 million on Rieder, who knows it's up to him to prove to the Swabians that he's worth the investment.
"At the end of the day, it's also up to me to push myself to make it happen. The goal is to stay in the Bundesliga and stay with Stuttgart.
Rieder has been in and out of the Stuttgart starting line-up this season, making 21 appearances in all competitions with one goal and three assists to his name.
