VfL fights with two league rivals for this second-division player

Even though VfL Bochum does not yet know in which league the club will play next season, planning for the 2023/2024 series is underway in the background.

With four match days to go, the relegation battle in the Bundesliga is far from decided. And it also looks like we will only know after the last matchday which two clubs will be relegated and which third club could still remain in the top flight via the relegation.

VfL Bochum is one of the major candidates for relegation. The Blue and Whites are currently in the relegation zone. The unclear league affiliation in the 2023/2024 season naturally also complicates squad planning.

This is also the case with Moritz-Broni Kwarteng. RevierSport has learned that the 1. FC Magdeburg offensive player is very high on VfL Bochum’s list. “RP Online reported first.

According to our information, Bochum’s league rivals VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Mönchengladbach are also said to be interested in Kwarteng. However, the latter is said to favour VfL – provided Bochum stays in the 1st Bundesliga.

Another catch: Kwarteng is tied to Magdeburg until the summer of 2024 and, according to information from this editorial team, is expected to cost around one million euros in transfer fees.

Kwarteng has proven that he can play in the 2nd Bundesliga and attract attention in the current season in the FCM jersey. For the traditional club from Saxony-Anhalt, the 25-year-old, who can play offensively in the centre as well as on the left or right wing, has already scored ten goals in 28 games and set up three others.

The Stuttgart native, who trained with the VfB youth team and later with RB Leipzig, TSG Hoffenheim and Hamburger SV, has been under contract with Magdeburg since January 2022. RS learned from his environment that he definitely wants to take the next step in the summer and move to a Bundesliga club.
