Stiller again linked with Barcelona move
FC Barcelona are planning to step up their efforts to sign Angelo Stiller from VfB Stuttgart, according to Sport Bild.
The Catalan giants were interested in the 23-year-old central midfielder last summer, but he ultimately stayed put.
Their interest remains, however, with Stiller seen as a great fit for Hansi Flick's possession-based style of football.
However, with Stuttgart unlikely to accept an offer of less than €50 million for Stiller, the question is whether Barcelona can afford him.
Stiller came through the youth ranks at Bayern Munich - FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick's former employers - before moving to Hoffenheim in 2021. Stuttgart signed him for a reported €5.5 million in the summer of 2023.
Since then, things have moved quickly for Stiller, who made his international debut in September. He made his first start for Germany in Monday's 1-0 win over the Netherlands.
