Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller in action during Bundesliga match as Manchester United eye transfer move
Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a summer move for Stuttgart and Germany international midfielder Angelo Stiller, valued at around €60 million ($53m).
According to reports, Stiller is part of a six-man shortlist prepared by manager Ruben Amorim, who is keen to strengthen the team’s midfield following a turbulent 2024–25 campaign that saw the Red Devils finish 15th in the Premier League without a trophy.
Amorim had previously targeted Brighton’s Carlos Baleba in the last transfer window, but the deal failed to materialize. United’s management, led by director of football Jason Wilcox, has now reignited long-standing interest in Stiller.
Wilcox has reportedly tracked the 23-year-old midfielder for years, pushing internally for the club to make a move. Stiller’s current contract with Stuttgart runs until 2028, but the Bundesliga side plan to buy out his €2m release clause, setting his valuation between €50m and €60m (£44m–£53m).
While Amorim is eager to strengthen the midfield immediately, any move for Stiller is unlikely to happen in January. United are expected to delay negotiations until next summer, given their recent heavy spending and ongoing financial balancing efforts.
Another name on United’s radar, Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace, has downplayed recent transfer rumours linking him to Old Trafford. Speaking to The Athletic, Wharton said:
“I don’t really look into it or think too much about it… United and the big teams are linked to 10 or 20 different players. If I’m one of 20, then it’s nothing special.”
For now, Manchester United’s transfer radar remains active, but Angelo Stiller has clearly emerged as a priority long-term target — a player the club sees as the key to rebuilding their midfield engine.
