Midfielder Angelo Stiller has now made 130 appearances for VfB Stuttgart (7 goals). However, it is questionable whether many more will be added. A top Italian club is said to be intensifying its efforts to attract the 25-year-old. However, the Swabians emphasize that no official steps have been taken yet.
“Since I’ve known Angelo Stiller, I’ve been reading something every few weeks. The fact is, no one has ever called me personally. And I’ve never received anything in writing. He’s a very important player for us and we don’t feel like dealing with his departure,” said Alexander Wehrle, head of the supervisory board of VfB Stuttgart, in the “Doppelpass” on “Sport 1” on Sunday, dispelling the persistent rumors about the top performer. However, even the person responsible for VfB cannot put out the fires of the rumor mill.
According to “Tuttosport”, Stiller should arouse great interest at Juventus Turin. Accordingly, Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti sees the 25-year-old as the “pivot” of his plans. Those responsible for the Old Lady from Piedmont are said to have personally examined Stiller several times in the past few weeks. The finding: “This is exactly the type of player Spalletti is looking for,” writes the newspaper.
VfB Stuttgart can supposedly buy the clause
Stiller’s contract situation in Stuttgart is seen as a hurdle. The working paper ends in the summer of 2028 and should contain a clause that allows a change against payment of around 36.5 million euros. The Bundesliga club can supposedly buy it from the former FC Bayern talent for a sum of around two to four million euros and then negotiate freely.
“Tuttosport” speculates that around 50 million euros would be due in this case.
With Bernardo Silva, who will leave Manchester City on a free transfer after the season, Juventus are said to have another midfielder in their sights.
