Legendary German football coach Lothar Matthaus has once again turned his attention to Angelo Stiller, one of the country’s up-and-coming stars. 

The former star player for Bayern Munich is sure that Stiller, who is now playing for Stuttgart, would be a great addition for his friend Hansi Flick during the summer transfer window. 

If Barcelona decides to go after Stiller, Matthaus is sure that he can help the team’s center.

This is an interesting fact: Stiller’s name has been linked to Barcelona before. The player from Stuttgart was linked to a move to Barcelona last summer when the club was desperately looking for new midfielders. 

At that time, no deal was made, but Matthaus’s positive review has now brought Stiller back into the spotlight.

What Matthaus told Hansi Flick

For Matthaus, Stiller’s style of play is a great fit for Barcelona’s way of thinking. It seems to him that the young midfielder could help the Catalan team by making their middle more organized and stable. 

“Stiller’s way of playing would be good for Barcelona.” According to SPORT, he said, “I trust him, and if Barcelona were to sell, it would make sense to sign him.”

There are doubts about Frenkie de Jong’s future, so Stiller could be a great replacement for him if Barcelona decides to change their center this summer.

What a good addition?

That’s how fast Stiller has risen. The midfielder got better in Bayern Munich’s youth academy, where he worked with Hansi Flick. He then moved to Stuttgart to find new chances. 

Stiller’s deal with Stuttgart ends in 2027, but his market value is slowly rising. 

Right now, it’s thought that any deal to get his skills would cost at least €30 million. This could be a good investment for Barcelona in a young player who has already shown some skill and still has room to grow.
