Overview

• CaughtOffside reported Manchester United made a late push and explored a £32m release clause for the 24-year-old.
• CaughtOffside also said Stiller declined the move to preserve regular minutes ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
• Fabrizio Romano later stated Stiller was never close to leaving, with no advanced talks involving United or Real Madrid and Stuttgart not intending to sell.
• Contract details reported by CaughtOffside suggest the clause applies only in certain windows and can be cancelled by Stuttgart for €2m, strengthening the club’s leverage.
• Manchester Evening News, citing the Mirror, referenced confidential talks and suggested interest could be revisited, as United ended the window without signing a midfielder after targeting options such as Carlos Baleba.
