German midfielder Angelo Stiller has been the subject of transfer speculation linking him to Barcelona. Stiller, who plays for Stuttgart, caught the eye of Hansi Flick, who sees the German midfielder as the perfect link between defence and offence in the Barcelona midfield. The rumours of a potential move to Catalonia were further fueled when Stiller was spotted in Barcelona, as he posted a story on Instagram showing him staying in Sitges, a town near Barcelona.
While Stiller’s presence in Barcelona could simply be a vacation, the timing is interesting given the transfer links. After missing out on the German national team for the upcoming European Championship, Stiller has plenty of time to enjoy his vacation. It remains to be seen if Barcelona will make a move for the player, as they are waiting on La Liga to determine their Fair Play margin for the summer.
Hansi Flick is familiar with Stiller from their time together at Stuttgart and may look to persuade the midfielder to make the move to La Liga. For now, Stiller’s stay in Barcelona has raised speculation and it will be interesting to see how this transfer saga unfolds in the coming weeks.
