Liverpool Set to Launch Summer Coup with €60 Million Move
Angelo Stiller, the 24-year-old defensive midfielder currently starring for VfB Stuttgart.
Liverpool FC have already identified their first major transfer target for the summer, Angelo Stiller.
According to Fichajes, the Merseysiders are prepared to meet Stuttgart’s valuation of €60 million to secure Stiller’s services ahead of the 2025–26 campaign.
Slot’s Midfield Makeover
Liverpool’s engine room requires rejuvenation. “Angelo Stiller has all the attributes we crave: tactical intelligence, physicality and exceptional ball-distribution,” a source close to Liverpool’s recruitment team explained. Slot is keen to integrate a younger, dynamic presence capable of shielding a back four that may soon lose Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid.
Liverpool are prepared to offer €60m (£51m) for Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller, with Arne Slot and the Reds' directors viewing him as 'an ideal candidate to add balance and clarity' in that area of the pitch #LFC

Stiller’s Meteoric Rise
Born and raised in Munich’s youth system, Stiller moved to Hoffenheim in 2021 on a free transfer before earning a €5.5 million switch to Stuttgart in 2023.
Since then, his market value has surged from €12 million to €38 million (per Transfermarkt), thanks to consistent displays in the Bundesliga. He has impressed with his ability to break up opposition play, recycle possession under pressure and launch forward passes from deep positions.
“We believe €60 million reflects his potential and current impact,” the insider added.
“This is not just an investment for now but a cornerstone for Liverpool’s midfield for years to come.”
Financial and Sporting Balance
This outlay would represent Liverpool’s largest summer signing since Darwin Núñez’s high-profile transfer in 2022. Financing the deal will hinge on a combination of commercial revenue, Champions League participation and potential player sales.
The Anfield hierarchy view Stiller as a long-term replacement for aging midfielders, ensuring the squad remains competitive domestically and in Europe.
Next Steps and Negotiations
Liverpool’s sporting director is set to open formal talks with Stuttgart within days. While Inter Milan and Real Sociedad have also registered interest, the allure of Anfield’s historic pedigree and Slot’s project may prove decisive.
Should terms be agreed, Stiller would undergo a medical in July before joining Liverpool’s pre-season tour.
