Reports from Italy indicate that Juventus are optimistic about securing a deal for German international Angelo Stiller. The Bianconeri are looking to leverage a complex release clause in Stiller’s contract with VfB Stuttgart.
Are Juventus eyeing Stuttgart’s Stiller for this summer?
Juventus is poised to enhance Luciano Spalletti’s squad in the upcoming summer transfer window as they aim to contend for the Serie A title in the next season. Strengthening their midfield, which currently lacks depth, is a priority.
According to Tuttosport, Stiller has emerged as a top choice for Juventus management, with a meeting planned with his agent.
Stiller, 25, a product of the Bayern Munich youth academy, has a release clause set at approximately €36.5 million, a sum that Juventus may find achievable.
However, recent reports suggest that Stuttgart could nullify this release clause by providing Stiller with a €2 million bonus, a scenario that Tuttosport views as plausible.

This development may complicate Juventus’ pursuit, but it is unlikely to deter them altogether. Current reports suggest that if the release clause becomes void, Stuttgart might demand around €50 million for Stiller, a figure with which Juventus could be willing to negotiate.
Additionally, Real Madrid and Manchester United are also reported to be interested in acquiring the seven-time Germany international.
