"By extending his contract by one year, Mario has clearly shown that he thinks of no other club than Stuttgart," general manager Horst Heldt declared at a club shareholders meeting.

"Despite the interest from several foreign clubs in the last few weeks, Mario has never considered a transfer.

Last season was his breakthrough campaign, helping Stuttgart win the title and winning three caps for the German national team, for whom he has scored three goals.
