Italian media outlets report that Juventus is keen on securing a deal for German midfielder Angelo Stiller, currently with VfB Stuttgart. The Bianconeri are reportedly looking to exploit a somewhat intricate release clause present in Stiller’s contract.
Juventus is anticipated to bolster their squad during the summer transfer window, with the objective of contending for the Serie A title in the upcoming season. The midfield department, which is considered to be lacking depth, is a key area targeted for reinforcement.
According to Tuttosport, Stiller has emerged as a prime target for the Juventus management. Reports indicate that discussions with the player’s agent are already scheduled.
The 25-year-old Stiller, a product of the Bayern Munich youth system, has a release clause in his Stuttgart contract reportedly set at €36.5 million, a sum that falls within Juventus’s financial capabilities.
However, the report from Saturday suggests that Stuttgart has the option to deactivate this release clause by offering Stiller a €2 million bonus, a scenario that Tuttosport deems probable.
While this development could complicate negotiations for Juventus, it is not expected to deter them entirely. If the release clause is indeed removed, Stuttgart might then seek a transfer fee in the vicinity of €50 million for Stiller, and Juventus could be amenable to such negotiations.
It’s also worth noting that Real Madrid and Manchester United have previously shown interest in acquiring the seven-time German international.
Juventus Hopes to Leverage Stiller’s Contract Clause at Stuttgart
Italian sources suggest that Juventus is optimistic about acquiring Angelo Stiller from VfB Stuttgart, aiming to capitalize on a specific stipulation within his contract.
English Translation:
Reports from Italy indicate that Juventus is hopeful of reaching an agreement for German international Angelo Stiller, and that the Bianconeri aim to take advantage of a complicated release clause in the midfielder’s contract with VfB Stuttgart.
Juventus is expected to strengthen Luciano Spalletti’s squad during the summer transfer window with the aim of competing for the Serie A title next season, and their midfield, which currently lacks depth, is an area that will be addressed.
According to Tuttosport, Stuttgart’s Stiller has been identified as a ‘favourite’ among the Bianconeri management, and Saturday’s report claims that a meeting with the player’s agent has been arranged.
The 25-year-old Stiller, a product of the Bayern Munich youth academy, has a release clause in his Stuttgart contract reportedly standing at €36.5 million, a figure that is not out of Juventus’s reach.
However, according to Saturday’s report, Stuttgart is able to revoke that release clause by paying Stiller a €2 million bonus, which Tuttosport claims is a likely scenario.
This would complicate proceedings for Juventus, but it would not put them off entirely, according to Saturday’s report. It has been suggested that Stuttgart could seek a fee in the region of €50 million for Stiller if the release clause is no longer in play, and Juve could be prepared to negotiate.
Real Madrid and Manchester United have also expressed an interest in acquiring the seven-time German international.
