Manchester United na tragu mladog veznog igrača
Signing a new midfielder is a priority for Manchester United next year. The Red Devils tried to sign Carlos Baleba from Brighton in the summer transfer window this year but Brighton’s strong stance made it difficult for them to complete the move. The midfield still needs more attention next year in the transfer window despite Ruben Amorim’s side producing positive results recently. However, Baleba is not the only name on their radar. Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller is one of the names United have been linked with some time and the reason behind their strong interest is the admiration of Director of Football Jason Wilcox, according to Fabrizio Romano. Wilcox has been tracking the German midfielder for several years, dating back to well before his arrival at Old Trafford, and is said to have a deep understanding of the player’s development, attributes, and long-term potential. His continued admiration for Stiller is built on first-hand scouting and extensive data analysis, making the 24-year-old Stuttgart star one of the most thoroughly assessed targets on United’s radar. What makes Stiller particularly appealing is the financial side of the deal. The midfielder is understood to have a £35 million release clause, which could make him a bargain signing for the Red Devils. For comparison, other Premier League-proven targets such as Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace), Carlos Baleba (Brighton), and Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest) are all expected to command fees north of £100 million. In a market where elite midfielders are now valued at staggering sums, Stiller’s relatively modest clause represents a rare opportunity for value. His defensive awareness and ability to anticipate play make him a natural fit for a possession-based system like Ruben Amorim’s, where control and transitions are crucial. With his combination of Bundesliga experience, tactical maturity, and affordability, Stiller is expected to feature prominently on several major clubs’ transfer wish lists by 2026. If Wilcox and Amorim agree on his profile, a £35 million move for Stiller could prove one of the most astute deals for Man United next year.

Potpisivanje novog veznog igrača je prioritet za Manchester United iduće godine. Crveni đavoli su pokušali angažovati Carlosa Balebu iz Brightona tokom ovogodišnjeg ljetnog transfernog prozora, ali jaki stav Brightona im je otežao završiti ovaj potez. Vezni red će i dalje zahtijevati više pažnje iduće godine u transfernom prozoru, iako Ruben Amorimovi igrači nedavno postižu pozitivne rezultate. Međutim, Baleba nije jedino ime na njihovom radaru. Veznjak Stuttgarta Angelo Stiller je jedno od imena s kojim je United bio povezan neko vrijeme, a razlog njihovog snažnog interesa je divljenje šefa fudbala Jasona Wilcoxa, prema Fabriziju Romanu. Wilcox prati ovog njemačkog veznjaka već nekoliko godina, još prije nego što je stigao na Old Trafford, i navodno ima duboko razumijevanje razvoja igrača, atributa i dugoročnog potencijala. Njegovo stalno divljenje Stilleru se gradi na scoutingu iz prve ruke i obimnoj analizi podataka, čineći 24-godišnjeg zvijezdu Stuttgarta jednim od najcjelovitijih ciljeva na radaru Uniteda. Ono što Stillera čini posebno privlačnim je finansijska strana dogovora. Razumijeva se da veznjak ima klauzulu za otpust od £35 miliona, što ga može učiniti jeftinim angažmanom za Crvene đavole. Za usporedbu, drugi dokazani ciljevi Premier lige poput Adama Whartona (Crystal Palace), Carlosa Balebe (Brighton) i Elliota Andersona (Nottingham Forest) se očekuje da će zahtijevati naknade veće od £100 miliona. Na tržištu gdje se elite veznjaci sada vrednuju na zapanjujuće iznose, Stillerova relativno skromna klauzula predstavlja rijetku priliku za vrijednost. Njegova obrambena svijest i sposobnost predviđanja igre čine ga prirodnim izborom za sistem posjeda kao što je Ruben Amorimov, gdje su kontrola i tranzicije ključne. Sa svojom kombinacijom iskustva iz Bundeslige, taktičke zrelosti i pristupačnosti, Stiller se očekuje da će se istaknuti na nekoliko lista želja vodećih klubova do 2026. Ako se Wilcox i Amorim slože oko njegovog profila, potez od £35 miliona za Stillerom bi mogao biti jedan od najpametnijih poslova za Man United iduće godine. Manchester United i dalje gaje interes za zvijezdu Premier lige koju nisu uspjeli dovesti tokom ljetnog prozora.
