Hull City agree Josha Vagnoman deal with Stuttgart as personal terms remain

Hull City have reached an agreement with Stuttgart for Josha Vagnoman, but the proposed move still depends on the German defender accepting personal terms.

The transfer has not yet been officially announced by either club. Sky Germany reports that Hull have agreed a deal with Stuttgart for the 25-year-old right-back, while talkSPORT says personal terms are now being discussed ahead of a possible move to the MKM Stadium.

That distinction keeps the operation advanced but unresolved. Hull have moved beyond initial interest and secured a club-level agreement, but Vagnoman has not yet completed the player-side step required to make the transfer ready for medical and final confirmation.

The fee has been reported in Germany at around €6.5m, with BILD also reporting that Stuttgart could retain a 50 per cent stake in future transfer rights. That structure would allow Stuttgart to cash in now while preserving upside if Vagnoman’s value rises in England.

For Hull, the move would add an experienced right-back to a squad being strengthened aggressively after promotion. Sergej Jakirovic has already overseen a busy summer, but the club are still trying to add several players before the deadline as they look to make their strong Premier League start more sustainable.

Vagnoman would bring Bundesliga experience, Germany caps and physical power on the right side. He made 27 Bundesliga appearances for Stuttgart last season and was involved in their opening defeat to Bayern Munich, scoring at one end before later turning the ball into his own net during a difficult second half.

The unresolved player decision is important because Hull are not alone in the background. West Ham and Nottingham Forest have also been linked with Vagnoman, leaving room for the deal to shift if either club makes a stronger late move or if the player hesitates over Hull’s proposal.

For Stuttgart, the decision is also delicate. Selling Vagnoman would remove a senior option from the right side of defence at a time when the squad could face further late-window movement. The club-level agreement shows they are prepared to do business, but the final shape of the deal still depends on the player and the last hours of negotiation.

Until personal terms are agreed and the clubs confirm the transfer, Vagnoman’s move should remain classified as advanced rather than complete.
