Former Bayern Munich star Lothar Matthaus has publicly endorsed Angelo Stiller as an ideal reinforcement for Barcelona's midfield in the upcoming summer transfer window.
This is not the first time Stiller's name has been linked with the Catalan giants, as rumours of Barcelona's interest in the midfielder surfaced last summer during their search for midfield reinforcements.
Matthaus, a respected figure in German football, believes that Stiller "could make his mark at Barcelona and organise the midfield there", highlighting the player's potential impact at the Camp Nou.Stiller's career trajectory has seen consistent progression since last season, with the midfielder developing his skills at Bayern Munich's youth academy before seeking new challenges.
His move to Stuttgart proved pivotal, as he quickly established himself as a cornerstone of the German side's midfield. The 23-year-old's performances have not gone unnoticed, catching the eye of top clubs and pundits alike. Interestingly, Stiller's time at Bayern coincided with that of current Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, potentially adding another layer of familiarity should a move materialise.
As Barcelona continues to reshape its squad under Flick's guidance, Stiller's blend of youth and experience in the Bundesliga could make him an attractive prospect for the Spanish club's midfield rejuvenation plans.
