Kalajdžić, who has also been mooted as a possible replacement for Robert Lewandowski at perennial German champions Bayern, has been capped 15 times for Austria, scoring four goals.

The towering forward, who is out of contract next summer, struck for his country in the 2–1 loss after extra-time against eventual champions Italy in the UEFA Euro 2020 round of 16.

But, despite intense speculation, Stuttgart sporting director Sven Mislintat confirmed no transfer offers have been made for the striker.

Speaking to Sky Deutschland, the former head of recruitment at Arsenal said: “There are no offers. [There are] three options, you sell, you extend his contract, or the contract expires if there are no offers that are good enough to accept them.

“We're in excellent talks with Sasa about his situation. And for me it's always important when they are there, that they give their all and he does that, you can see that in every training session.”
