Last week, Augsburg also lowered their original demand of €25 million and moved towards meeting VfB’s requirements.
Following weeks of negotiations, the deal only needs approval from VfB committees, which is considered a formality.
As BILD understands, the uncertainty surrounding VfB striker Serhou Guirassy (28) does not affect a potential Demirovic signing. If Guirassy’s transfer to BVB falls through, Stuttgart would plan to keep him.
According to BILD information, Guirassy’s exit clause is valid until one week before the start of the season, mid-August. Whether Guirassy will join Borussia Dortmund will be decided at the beginning of next week following BVB obtains a second expert opinion on his right knee condition (as BILD reported).

The key factor in reaching an agreement seems to be Stuttgart’s increased offer for Demirovic. They have raised their bid from €19.5 million to €21 million, plus potential bonus payments, which satisfies FC Augsburg’s final demands.

VfB Stuttgart Transfer News: Demirovic and Guirassy
The completion of the Demirovic transfer is contingent upon approval from VfB’s committees, a formality that’s expected to be swiftly addressed.
However, there’s another factor at play: the future of VfB striker Serhou Guirassy (28) remains uncertain. While the Demirovic signing is not directly dependent on Guirassy’s transfer, it does add a layer of complexity to the situation.
Guirassy has attracted interest from Borussia Dortmund, but the potential transfer has hit a snag. BVB is seeking a second medical opinion on Guirassy’s right knee, which might impact the transfer. The decision regarding Guirassy’s move to Dortmund is expected to be made early next week.
It’s important to remember that Guirassy’s exit clause is valid until a week before the start of the season, meaning mid-August. If the Dortmund transfer falls through, VfB will likely retain the striker for the upcoming season.
