After agreeing personal terms with Caspar Jander, VfB Stuttgart have shifted their attention to negotiating a transfer fee with 1. FC Nürnberg.

According to Kicker, the Swabians have tabled an initial offer of €8 million for the midfielder.

Nürnberg, however, are holding out for significantly more. 

An asking price of €20 million was initially floated, and as Kicker reports, it will likely take a fee well into the double-digit millions to persuade the 2. Bundesliga club to let the 22-year-old go. 

Jander, who was part of Germany's squad for the Under-21 Euros, is under contract with the 2. Bundesliga side until 2028. 

He joined Nürnberg last summer on a free transfer from MSV Duisburg.
