Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vítek emerges as Stuttgart transfer target

Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vítek could be set for a move to the Bundesliga, with VfB Stuttgart considering a transfer following an injury to first-choice goalkeeper Dennis Seimen.

The Czech stopper recently revealed his desire to leave Old Trafford this summer in search of regular first-team football, and Stuttgart's growing interest could hand him the opportunity he has been waiting for.

Stuttgart are weighing up a move for Vítek after first-choice goalkeeper Dennis Seimen suffered a thigh injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for around two months.

The Bundesliga club are now assessing whether they need to enter the transfer market, with sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth confirming a decision will be made in the coming days.

Vítek has emerged as one of the goalkeepers under consideration as Stuttgart look for immediate cover.

Vítek recently made his intentions clear by admitting he wants to leave Manchester United this summer, either on loan or permanently.

The 22-year-old is eager to become a club's first-choice goalkeeper after spending the past two seasons gaining experience on loan at Accrington Stanley, Blau-Weiß Linz, and Bristol City.

With competition for places at Old Trafford, a move away appears increasingly likely.

Should Stuttgart proceed with a deal, Vítek could immediately establish himself as the club's starting goalkeeper while Seimen recovers.

Strong performances could even allow the Manchester United academy graduate to retain the number one shirt beyond the injured goalkeeper's return.

That prospect makes Stuttgart an attractive destination for a player focused on securing regular football.

Manchester United have already strengthened their goalkeeping options this summer following the arrival of Karl Darlow on a free transfer.

The club have also been linked with San Lorenzo goalkeeper Orlando Gill, further suggesting changes are underway in the goalkeeping department.

With Vítek under contract until 2028, United remain in control of his future, whether through another loan or a permanent transfer.

Stuttgart are expected to decide soon whether to sign a goalkeeper following Dennis Seimen's injury. If they enter the market, Radek Vítek is among the leading candidates and could secure the regular first-team football he has been seeking.
