Newcastle's favored target: Angelo Stiller

A notable development has occurred in the summer transfer window. According to reports, Newcastle have put Angelo Stiller, who plays for Stuttgart, on their agenda to strengthen their midfield. It was stated that the 25-year-old German player has been identified as the priority candidate to replace Sandro Tonali, who moved to Tottenham for around £100 million.

According to reports, there is a €36.5 million release clause in Stiller's contract; the player's deal runs until June 2028. However, it was stated that Stuttgart could remove this clause by paying the player €2 million, and thereby set a higher transfer fee. This situation shows that the terms of a possible transfer could change.

Having featured in all 34 Bundesliga matches last season, Angelo Stiller stood out with the performance that took his team to the Champions League. According to reports, clubs such as Real Madrid, Juventus and Chelsea are also interested in the experienced player. It was recalled that Manchester United also made a last-minute approach for the player last summer, but that this approach was rebuffed.

While it was stated that Newcastle previously signed Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart, it is assessed that this history between the two clubs could pave the way for a new deal. Having played 45 minutes in one match for Germany at the World Cup, Stiller is expected to contribute to Newcastle with his playmaking and ball-retention ability in midfield. Newcastle's moves in the summer transfer window, and the steps they take for Stiller, will be followed with interest in the coming period.
