Man Utd can sign Angelo Stiller this summer but there’s a £10.9m catch as Bayern watch on

“There is a lot of interest in Stiller from the Premier League; Manchester United are concretely interested. The Red Devils were there last summer but didn’t clinch a deal because they came too late in the transfer window. But this could be a serious option for them this summer.”

However, the reality remains that, between the Bundesliga leader’s available options, they’re hardly short of supply in midfield.

It’s only going to get more difficult in that regard if the Bavarians are able to move Konrad Laimer back into midfield and if Kennet Eichhorn ends up in Munich.

Man Utd may have to pay a little more for Stiller

You could forgive Stuttgart for wanting a more significant transfer fee for a player of Angelo Stiller’s calibre – particularly given that Premier League clubs are circling.

With that in mind, the German outfit can reportedly purchase the No.6’s release clause for a nominal fee, which would then allow them to raise his asking price.

Christian Falk went on to add: “The 25-year-old has a release clause in his contract (€37.5m [£32.6m]), but VfB Stuttgart can buy this option from Stiller (for an amount between €2m-4m). Then, they’d have the idea of selling the midfielder for €50m [£43.5m]. There are a lot of things that could happen, but I can say that there’s still a chance Stiller would leave Stuttgart in the summer.”

In Premier League terms, this shouldn’t be too significant a barrier for a club like Manchester United.

Especially not if the Red Devils manage to secure a return to Champions League football as they’re currently on course to do.

Why are Manchester United interested in Stiller?

The 25-year-old is one of the more creative midfielders in the Bundesliga, ranking well among his peers for chance creation.

Even for a figure exceeding £32.6m, you’re looking at getting a potential bargain in Stiller this summer.
