Newcastle Add Angelo Stiller to Transfer Shortlist
A reported €36.5m release clause that Stuttgart can neutralise for about €2m means a formal bid could force the club to negotiate a sale.
Overview
- Reports on Saturday say Newcastle are monitoring Angelo Stiller but have not made a formal approach to VfB Stuttgart.
- Stiller is under contract until June 2028 and is reported to have a €36.5m release clause that Stuttgart can cancel by paying roughly €2m to change negotiation terms.
- The 25-year-old deep-lying playmaker played every Bundesliga game last season and helped Stuttgart finish fourth and qualify for the Champions League.
- Stuttgart say they are not actively looking to sell their key midfielder but acknowledge they could struggle to keep him if a concrete, competitive offer arrives and have discussed Anderlecht’s Nathan De Cat as a possible replacement.
- Wide interest from major clubs raises Stiller’s market value and means any Newcastle move would likely trigger a fast, costly transfer race that would reshape Stuttgart’s midfield plans and affect the player’s career trajectory.
