Stuttgart have completed the full signing of Hoffenheim striker Vedad Ibisevic. The Swabian side announced on their official website that the 27-year-old had signed a contract until 2016.
The clubs mutually agreed not to disclose a transfer fee, but reports before the final transfer suggested a valuation in the region of €5.5 million.
"I am delighted that the transfer worked. VfB are a great club with huge potential. I will do my part, that we can bring ourselves back up towards the top in the mid-term. I especially look forward to the special atmosphere in the Mercedes-Benz Arena," the player said.
"Vedad Ibisevic has proven his eye for goal in recent years and we are confident that he will show his skills with us," Stuttgart coach Bruno Labbadia said of the new signing.
Hoffenheim have been closing in on Wolfsburg's Srdjan Lakic and now that the Bosnian has put pen to paper on a deal with Stuttgart, the Sinsheim outfit are expected to imminently conclude negotiations over the transfer of Croatian Lakic.
