Stuttgart are set to complete the signing of Chelsea defender Khalid Boulahrouz.
The 26-year-old Netherlands international had been expected to leave Stamford Bridge after spending last season on loan at Sevilla.
Boulahrouz saw both his last campaign in Spain and first season at Chelsea following his £8.5million signing from Hamburg ravaged by injury.
"He is just the man we were lacking," said Stuttgart coach Armin Veh. "He is one who is not scared of getting involved when needed."
Meanwhile, Portugal defender Fernando Meira has left the Mercedes-Benz Arena following the end of his contract.
