Former 1. FC Köln and SC Freiburg goalkeeper Laura Giuliani, who has won over 100 Italy caps as well as four Italian league titles, has left AC Milan to join VfB Stuttgart, who will compete in the Women’s Bundesliga for the first time in 2026/27. Giuliani’s contract with the Cannstatt outfit ties her to the club until 30 June 2028.
“Exceptional quality”
Sascha Glass, general manager of women’s football at VfB, said: “We’re very pleased to have brought Laura Giuliani to VfB. She possesses exceptional quality and brings a wealth of experience to our team. Her personality and hugely positive attitude will have a major impact on the squad. From our first talks, her curiosity about VfB and enthusiasm for the path we’ve set out on were immense.”
Giuliani added: “I’ve made the conscious decision to return to Germany and join VfB. The club’s development – both overall and in women’s football – has been extraordinary, which makes me all the more excited at the prospect of contributing to their journey in future. I’m really looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and playing in the Women’s Bundesliga.”
