Stuttgart tracking City starlet

Stuttgart general manager Fredi Bobic admits his club are keen on Manchester City starlet Vladimir Weiss. The 20-year-old is among those to have found themselves on the fringes at Eastlands following a summer of mass transfer activity.The added competition for places looks set to curtail any hopes he had of forcing his way into the first-team fold this season.As a result, it is expected that the Slovakia international will be moved on by Roberto Mancini, either on loan or in a permanent switch.Weiss did take in a short-term deal at City's Premier League rivals Bolton last season and is believed to be looking for another move.Stuttgart claim the youngster has expressed a desire to join them and Bobic is hoping an agreement can be pushed through before the summer transfer window slams shut."We are in talks and we would like to sign Vladimir Weiss," he told Deutsche Presseagentur."The player would like to come over, but there are other clubs also interested in his services."We have yet to agree a move as the other clubs involved have other ideas."Weiss is under contract with City until June 2012, but has struggled to make an impression since stepping up from the academy ranks.
