The new Toni Kroos? Real Madrid and Manchester United battle for Stuttgart's midfield maestro

The Red Devils are going head-to-head with the Galácticos in the transfer market!

Details: According to Fussballdaten, Manchester United and Real Madrid are ready to lock horns over the signing of Stuttgart's 25-year-old German midfielder, Angelo Stiller.

Reports suggest that Real Madrid, following the departure of Toni Kroos, are in search of a player with similar qualities, and Stiller is seen as the ideal candidate to fill that void. Manchester United, on the other hand, are eyeing Stiller as a potential replacement for the departing Casemiro.

Stuttgart have stated they are prepared to let their star man go, but not for less than €65 million, despite Stiller's release clause being set at €40 million. The twist is that Stuttgart have the option to cancel the release clause by paying Stiller €2 million in compensation, a factor that could play a significant role in upcoming negotiations with interested clubs.

This season, Stiller has featured in 44 matches for Stuttgart, scoring 1 goal and providing 10 assists. His current contract with the club runs until 2028, and Transfermarkt values his transfer fee at €45 million.
