With Yury Zhirkov already gone, CSKA Moscow are preparing to bid farewell to yet another star player. German side Stuttgart have targeted striker Vagner Love and are reported to be in talks with CSKA.

The 25-year-old, who has 20 caps for the Brazilian main squad, has long been a Stuttgart target, and now their sporting director and manager have arrived in Moscow to negotiate a deal.

According to reports in the German media, Stuttgart are prepared to fork out up to €20 million for the star striker.

Love was the Premier League’s top-scorer last season, netting a total of 20 goals in 26 games.
