Real Madrid Identify This Emerging Star As Luka Modric’s Replacement: Good Choice? | OneFootball

Who is Angelo Stiller?

Angelo Stiller came through Bayern Munich academy but moved to TSG Hoffenheim. He eventually joined VfB Stuttgart in the summer of 2023. The move has helped him to improve his game and establish himself as one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga.

Stiller has featured across 39 games this season so far, netting thrice and providing six assists. He is averaging 0.6 shots, 1.6 key passes, and 0.6 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).

The German midfielder plays in a deep-lying role and has the required composure and vision. He has great passing accuracy and makes line-breaking passes. He is also effective in controlling the tempo of the game and pressing high to win the possession.

Angelo Stiller is a great talent

Real Madrid’s interest in Angelo Stiller makes sense as they need more quality in the middle of the park. Notably, they didn’t sign a replacement for Toni Kroos after his retirement. Moreover, the future of Luka Modric beyond this season is also uncertain.

Hence, the Whites want to bring the German midfielder to bolster their pack. As the player continues to put on impressive shows in the German league, he can be a great purchase. His versatility and qualities will surely help Carlo Ancelotti‘s side.
