VfB can also count on Konstantinos Mavropanos in the coming season. The 23-year-old, who is under contract with Arsenal FC, will also be on loan for the Cannstatt club in the 2021/2022 season. VfB then has a purchase option. Konstantinos Mavropanos played 21 Bundesliga and one DFB Cup games for VfB last season. He was one of the strongest duels at VfB (63 percent won duels).
Sports director Sven Mislintat:
“We have always emphasized that we would like to tie Dinos to VfB for a longer period if the opportunity presents itself. Dinos had expressed the clear wish early on to stay with VfB and we were now able to find a sensible solution with Arsenal. Dinos is well on the way to becoming an absolute top central defender and we are very happy to have him at VfB. “
European Dinos:
“It was a great wish of mine to continue my career at VfB. This has come true. Many thanks to the VfB family for the trust they have placed in me. Special thanks go to Sven Mislintat and Pellegrino Matarazzo, both fantastic people who support me on my way with great professionalism. I want to use my full potential in order to best meet the goals of our team. For the future, I hope that we will all stay healthy and that our fans will be able to support each other in the stadium again. That is something that I miss a lot and I can hardly wait to experience the special atmosphere in the Mercedes-Benz Arena again. “
