However, latest reports from Vamos Sevilla, have claimed that VfB Stuttgart reached out to Iheanacho with more enticing offer.
The 5-time league champions are in need of a new striker following Serhou Guirassy’s transfer to Borussia Dortmund.
Iheanacho might be swayed to choose Germany over Spain given the fact that Stuttgart, unlike Sevilla will be competing in UEFA Champions League next season.
