Stuttgart demand €50m for midfielder linked with Real Madrid and Manchester United

VfB Stuttgart have slapped a €50 million valuation on Germany midfielder Angelo Stiller, according to Sport Bild, despite the presence of a release clause in his current deal.

The 22-year-old’s contract contains a buy-out figure reported at €36.5 million by Sport Bild and €40 million by Sky Germany. Crucially, Stuttgart can extinguish that clause for roughly €2 million at any moment, freeing the club to name its own asking price in negotiations.

Stiller, who has already been credited with attracting interest from European heavyweights Real Madrid and Manchester United, is now effectively on the market for any side willing to meet Stuttgart’s elevated valuation.

The same Sport Bild report notes that winger Jamie Leweling has also been made available at a similar €50 million price, signalling Stuttgart’s willingness to sanction major exits if their financial demands are satisfied.

With the summer window approaching, the Bundesliga outfit appear determined to control the narrative around their most marketable assets, even if it means paying to remove contractual levers that would otherwise allow players to leave for lower fixed fees.
