Inter Tracking Stuttgart Defender Jeltsch Amid European Interest
Inter are keeping tabs on Stuttgart centre-back Finn Jeltsch and sent scouts to watch him in a recent Champions League fixture. Barcelona, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are also monitoring the young defender, whose valuation has reportedly reached €40M. Jeltsch, under contract until 2030, previously joined Stuttgart from Nürnberg for €9.5M and has yet to make his senior Germany debut.
Inter’s interest in Finn Jeltsch follows a summer in which they moved on from Acerbi, De Vrij and Darmian, added John Stones, and retained Pavard. The club is reportedly looking to refresh its back line with younger options, and Jeltsch has been identified as a possible long-term target.
Stuttgart signed the centre-back from Nürnberg for €9.5M when he was 18. He has since made 57 appearances with two assists, and although Germany have called him up, he has not yet played for the senior side. His contract runs to 2030, and his price is now around €40M. Inter scouts watched him against Viking, with Barcelona representatives also present.
For supporters, this story may add anticipation around Inter’s future defence and Stuttgart’s ability to retain a rising player. A high-profile transfer could affect club finances, squad planning, and the player’s development path, while fans of the interested clubs may debate whether the fee and role fit. It could also shape expectations for young defenders in the market, though any move remains uncertain and dependent on negotiations, performance, and timing.
