According to Football Insider, 25-year-old German midfielder Angelo Stiller has emerged as a potential target for Liverpool.
Stuttgart’s Stiller is widely expected to leave the club in the coming months, with the Reds keeping a keen eye on a potential £60m deal.
Liverpool’s leaders are keen to permanently strengthen their engine room after a transitional 2025/26 season under Arne Slott.
Stiller has been an excellent player in Germany over the past few seasons and is seen as the ideal candidate to anchor Anfield’s midfield for years to come.
Angelo Stiller has impressed for Liverpool this season
Stiller is a classic-style deep-lying playmaker who has often been compared to compatriot Toni Kroos for his excellent ball distribution and tactical qualities.
The left-footed maestro, who primarily plays as a professional number six, dictates the tempo of the match.
Stiller regularly drops deep between the centre-backs to coordinate build-up play, breaking the opposition’s press and firing sharp forward passes.
For Slot’s system, he represents a bespoke fit. His ability to blend positional discipline with flawless mass passing will perfectly complement the more advanced roles of Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenbirch, giving Liverpool’s creative assets greater freedom on the pitch.
Reds face competition from Premier League clubs
But securing Stiller’s signature is no easy task.
The £60m price tag reflects not only his immense quality but also his solid contract situation.
Stuttgart managed to tie the 25-year-old to a long-term deal that runs until 2028, decisively removing an attractive release clause from his contract.
This shrewd business move will see the German club retain all leverage in future negotiations and only sell if a premium valuation is met.
What’s more, Liverpool are not the only big players in Europe to be monitoring his progress.
Rivals Manchester United and Spanish giants Real Madrid have also been linked with the midfielder in recent months.
