Stiller to Liverpool – just €40M bargain obviously
Liverpool’s interest in Stiller aligns with their strategy to bolster their midfield options. The uncertain future of Wataru Endo has prompted the Reds to explore potential replacements.
Stiller’s technical prowess and versatility make him an attractive candidate for the Premier League side.
Stiller’s contract includes an expected release clause valued at €36 million, which becomes active in 2026. However, Liverpool could secure his services earlier by presenting a substantial offer this summer.
Falk noted that an early bid might prompt Stuttgart to negotiate before the clause’s activation. Stuttgart value Stiller around €40 million.
This valuation reflects his importance to the team and his potential for further growth. Liverpool’s willingness to meet this price could be pivotal in securing the midfielder’s signature.
Stiller’s defensive capabilities complement his playmaking skills, making him a well-rounded midfielder. His ability to break up opposition plays and initiate attacks aligns with Liverpool’s tactical approach.
This blend of skills could provide the Reds with a dynamic presence in the midfield. His acquisition would not only add depth but also bring a new dimension to their midfield play.
