Juventus are racing to secure German midfielder Angelo Stiller from VfB Stuttgart. The Serie A side fear the Bundesliga club will remove the player’s release clause before they can trigger it.
The Turin giants want the 25-year-old to strengthen their squad ahead of next season. Manager Luciano Spalletti needs more options in the centre of the park as his team looks to challenge for the league title.
Stiller has a €36.5 million release clause in his contract. However, Stuttgart can cancel this clause by paying the Germany international a €2 million bonus. This puts pressure on Juventus to complete the deal quickly.
The former Bayern Munich academy player has caught the eye of several top clubs. Real Madrid and Manchester United have also shown interest in the seven-cap Germany star.
Juventus officials plan to meet with Stiller’s agent soon. They hope to beat their rivals and Stuttgart’s legal move to keep the clause active long enough to sign the player.
