In a statement following the announcement, Demirović expressed his happiness about continuing his journey with VfB.
> “From the moment I arrived at Stuttgart, I felt at home,” said Demirović. “The fans, the staff, and my teammates have all made me feel like part of a family. I believe in what we’re building here and I want to help this team achieve great things in the coming years.”
