The future of Noah Darvich (19) has been clarified. After an excellent season in the 3. Liga, the attacking midfielder will move up two leagues and join SV Elversberg, where he will compete for goals. After the 2025/26 season, interest in Darvich was shown by, among others: Werder Bremen and two clubs from the 2nd Bundesliga: VfL Wolfsburg and Hertha BSC, but it was SV Elversberg that finally won his signature. SVE's interest was previously announced by "kicker". In the new team, Darvich, the 2023 U-17 world champion, is expected to develop. As both clubs announced, Darvich will be loaned from VfB Stuttgart to Elversberg for a year. "Noah has excellent technical skills and is considered one of the most promising talents at the number ten position in Germany," said Elversberg sporting director Christian Weber. "He understands the game, can operate between the lines and is effective in the final third. Thanks to these features, he will enrich our offense and we are convinced that he will develop with us." Darvich was one of many Stuttgart talents who did not break into the first team but were of interest to other clubs. Now the choice has fallen on Elversberg, which has proven in the last two seasons that it can develop talents and quickly introduce them to professional football. "As with other young players, it makes a lot of sense for Noah to move to a club on loan to be demanding at a high level and gain valuable experience," explains Fabian Wohlgemuth, member of the VfB sports board. "SV Elversberg is an excellent choice. We wish Noah and Elversberg the best of luck in the upcoming season and will follow his development closely." In the summer of 2025, VfB acquired Darvich for around 700,000 euros from FC Barcelona Athletic and placed him in the second team, which turned out to be a good decision: Darvich developed brilliantly, scoring 10 goals and 6 assists in 29 matches of the 3rd League (average "kicker" rating 2.86), which aroused interest. Darvich himself described the "down-to-earthness and family nature" of Saarland as the reason for moving to SVE. "These are the best conditions for my next steps in professional football. My goal is to prove my skills and contribute to a successful season for the club." Since VfB coach Sebastian Hoeneß praised Darvich on many occasions but did not give him a chance to play, in Elversberg Noah can count on his first appearances in the Bundesliga. The young player has not yet made his debut in the German Cup.
