Manchester United targets VfB Stuttgart star Stiller – change in winter?

Manchester United is looking for a breath of fresh air in central midfield and has targeted two players: Angelo Stiller from VfB Stuttgart and Conor Gallagher, who currently plays for Atlético Madrid. How Tipico reports, the situation is more exciting than you think.

Angelo Stiller has made considerable progress at VfB Stuttgart recently. His ball control and style of play are valued by experts and that makes him an attractive candidate for United's squad planning. Nevertheless, a transfer in January 2024 is considered almost impossible as the Swabians are not willing to lose key players during the current season. His contract does not expire until 2028, which strengthens Stuttgart's negotiating position.

Gallagher on the radar

But Conor Gallagher has also attracted interest from Manchester United. The former Chelsea player has only made two appearances in La Liga this season and could be eyeing a move back to the Premier League. How The Football Faithful noted, a proposed move during the last transfer window failed due to Atlético Madrid's preference for a permanent transfer.

However, Manchester United's winter priority is clearly on strengthening their midfield and Gallagher could be a good option, especially as evidence suggests he is open to a return to England. Regardless, the sporting and financial challenge associated with a move cannot be ignored, especially as Gallagher has a contract until 2029.

What does the future hold?

Manchester United's plans suggest that serious offers in the next transfer window will not be made until the summer of 2026. The development of players like Kobbie Mainoo, who play a role in the squad, is also becoming increasingly important. The path that those responsible at United take could have a decisive influence on the conditions for future transfers.

For Stiller, the Swabians probably want to hold on to him until the summer of 2026 in order to rely on his qualities. While fans in Cologne are looking forward to developments, it is clear that the transfer markets are full of opportunities and challenges, especially for Manchester United.
