"Alexander Nübel has set standards over the last three years, both on and off the pitch, and at both a sporting and personal level. Alex could always be relied upon, and VfB's positive development, culminating in a third successive year of European football, owes a great deal to him," said Stuttgart board member for sport Fabian Wohlgemuth.
"Alex has our heartfelt thanks for our time together and for his commitment to VfB, and we wish him nothing but the best for the future, both professionally and personally."
Alexander Nübel, who made 129 appearances for Stuttgart, commented:
"I had a sensational time at VfB Stuttgart in every respect. My family and I had three wonderful years in Stuttgart, and I felt right at home from day one. The team and the fans showed me so much appreciation and respect, which I'm very grateful for.

"It was a very successful time on the pitch too: We qualified for Europe on three occasions, experienced unforgettable evenings in the Champions League and Europa League, and celebrated a very special moment with the DFB Cup victory - one that I will remember forever."
