Former Manchester United star Bastian Schweinsteiger has urged Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller to join Bayern Munich, rather than his former club. Stiller, a 24-year-old Germany international, is a target for Manchester United as they look to strengthen their midfield in January.
Stiller is under contract at Stuttgart until 2028 and is valued at £44 million, according to Sky Deutschland. United are also considering other options, including Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton and Joao Gomes, to bolster Ruben Amorim's squad.
“Angelo is a very interesting player,” Schweinsteiger said at a Kings League event. “I would very much like to see him back at Bayern Munich.” Stiller began his career at Bayern before moving to Stuttgart.
Stuttgart’s sporting director, Fabian Wohlgemuth, addressed the speculation: “He has a contract with us. It’s far too early to speculate about that. Of course, one or two clubs will have had their eye on him. He’s having an outstanding season.”
Stiller has admitted he is drawn to playing abroad in the future, saying he wants to play in MLS eventually. He has one goal and six assists in 19 appearances this season.
