Italian source Tuttosport reports that AC Milan have identified Angelo Stiller as a possible successor to veteran Luka Modric.
When the 41-year-old hangs up his boots, there will be a creative vacuum in the Italians' midfield that Stiller could fill.
Stiller's release clause is also a key focus. The German international can leave VfB Stuttgart for a fixed transfer fee of €40million.
However, even though Stiller's contract only runs until 2028, Sky Germany recently reported that an extension seems unlikely.
It's possible that Stiller would even be available for less than the aforementioned clause this summer given his contract situation.
In Milan, Markus Krösche is also considered to be capable of playing a key role in the attempt to sign Stiller from the Swabian outfit.
The former sporting director of Eintracht Frankfurt will take over as Head of Football at the traditional Italian club on 1 January 2027.
His excellent connections in Germany and knowledge of the Bundesliga clubs could prove beneficial in a potential Stiller transfer.
