Fernando Meira likely to leave Stuttgart

German side VfB Stuttgart and their Portuguese captain Fernando Meira are about to part ways. At least, this seems more likely than ever.

Local newspaper ‘Stuttgarter Zeitung’ reports on Friday that the skipper wants to leave the club as soon as possible.

Club and player agreed last year that if a bigger club shows interest in Meira, he will be allowed to make a move.

According to player manager Roger Wittman, European giants as Liverpool and Juventus have revealed to have an interest in the defender.

“Once the player is put on the transfer list, everything will go very fast. There’s always interest for a player of his qualities,” said Wittman.
