Not many players can boast the type of Bundesliga resume that Ibisevic holds. In fact, his goal tally in the top flight of German football is bettered by only three active players in the league.
82 - @VedadIbisevic09, who signed at @HerthaBSC, scored 82 Bundesliga goals, only 3 current BL players more. Goalgetter.

"They were great years in Stuttgart, even though we have not always achieved the desired results," Ibisevic said. "In the end we came to the conclusion that a change was the right decision for both sides. I wish Stuttgart and all their fans the best of luck and a successful season."
