According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid are showing interest in VfB Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller. The La Liga club believe the player has the potential to fill the big shoes of Luka Modric in the long run.
Who is Angelo Stiller?
Angelo Stiller came through Bayern Munich academy but moved to TSG Hoffenheim. He eventually joined VfB Stuttgart in the summer of 2023. The move has helped him to improve his game and establish himself as one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga.
Stiller has featured across 39 games this season so far, netting thrice and providing six assists. He is averaging 0.6 shots, 1.6 key passes, and 0.6 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The German midfielder plays in a deep-lying role and has the required composure and vision. He has great passing accuracy and makes line-breaking passes. He is also effective in controlling the tempo of the game and pressing high to win the possession.
Angelo Stiller is a great talent
Real Madrid’s interest in Angelo Stiller makes sense as they need more quality in the middle of the park. Notably, they didn’t sign a replacement for Toni Kroos after his retirement. Moreover, the future of Luka Modric beyond this season is also uncertain.
Hence, the Whites want to bring the German midfielder to bolster their pack. As the player continues to put on impressive shows in the German league, he can be a great purchase. His versatility and qualities will surely help Carlo Ancelotti‘s side.
The likes of Liverpool and Barcelona were also linked with the player but none of them offered a real deal. It remains to be seen if Real Madrid will go after the 23-year-old in the summer or try bringing in another creative midfielder.
