Report reveals release clause in Ito’s Stuttgart contract

Sky Germany reports that Hiroki Ito has a release clause in his contract with VfB Stuttgart.

When Hiroki Ito extended his contract with VfB Stuttgart until 2027 in August, a release clause was reportedly inserted into the deal.

According to Sky Germany, the Japanese centre-back can leave the club for €30 million via the release clause.

However, a move this winter is unlikely as Ito wants to finish the season with Stuttgart, according to the report.

The 24-year-old recently picked up an injury that will sideline him for the rest of the year.
