Premier League heavyweights Liverpool are reportedly monitoring the progress of 23-year-old German midfielder Angelo Stiller at Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Angelo Stiller is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are scouring the market for a midfielder ahead of the summer transfer window. So, the VfB Stuttgart midfielder has emerged as a target for the Merseyside club, with the Bundesliga outfit valuing the German international at around €40 million.
The emergence of Angelo Stiller
Angelo Stiller has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga since joining VfB Stuttgart from TSG Hoffenheim in August 2023. A native of Munich, he spent his formative years in his home city and graduated from the youth division at Bayern Munich.
The 23-year-old has gone from strength to strength in the last 18 months, with his exploits for VfB Stuttgart helping him break into his national side. Stiller has turned out over 50 times thus far for the Bundesliga club while chipping in with three goals and nine assists.
Meanwhile, Stiller’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Recent reports have linked the German international with Barcelona, with Liverpool joining the race to secure his services. Meanwhile, VfB Stuttgart will likely demand around €40 million to part ways with the player.
Premier League adventure on the horizon?
Liverpool’s interest in Angelo Stiller is understandable. While Ryan Gravenberch has been a revelation under Arne Slot, the Dutch tactician wants more options at his disposal in the 2024/25 season. Wataru Endo faces an uncertain future at Anfield, with the Japanese international ready to leave Liverpool amid his links with other Premier League clubs.
So, Stiller has emerged as a viable target for Liverpool, with the Merseyside club closely monitoring his progress at VfB Stuttgart. Meanwhile, as iterated earlier, the Bundesliga club will demand around €40 million to part ways with the German international.
However, a deal will unlikely see the light of day in the winter transfer window, and Liverpool must wait until the summer to secure the midfielder’s services. It will be interesting to see if the Reds are ready to cough up €40 million to sign the 23-year-old from VfB Stuttgart later this year.
