Germany’s Angelo Stiller could be a good option in that regard and after the 24-year-old made an interesting admission about Liverpool this week, journalist Fabrizio Romano has explained what is expected to happen with Stiller.

There have been suggestions that Liverpool considered Stiller after being rejected by Martin Zubimendi in 2024.
However, with two further transfer windows having been and gone, they have not made a move.
Nevertheless, Stiller admitted that he is keen to play abroad earlier this week, name-checking Florian Wirtz’s decision to join Liverpool as an inspiration.

“I’m interested in moving abroad at some point,” said the Stuttgart man.
“I thought Florian Wirtz’s decision to go to Liverpool was cool.”

And according to Romano, Stiller is likely to be on the list of plenty of clubs heading into 2026.
“I think Angelo Stiller is going to be a topic for 2026,” the reporter told his YouTube channel on Friday.
Real Madrid considered him internally but they never made a proposal to Stiller or to Stuttgart.”
“What I can say is that Stiller will remain a topic of interest for many clubs in 2026,” Romano adds.
He is another name we will mention quite a lot on the channel because some clubs are going to plan some missions to follow him and scout him and see how he will develop.”
Bolstering the midfield was clearly not a priority for Slot this summer, and there is plenty of logic behind that.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that if Gravenberch or Alexis Mac Allister pick up an unfortunate injury, Liverpool are not brilliantly well equipped to deal with it.
Signing someone like Stiller would alleviate that problem completely.
Previous reports suggested that Stuttgart would sell Stiller for around £34m, but having since become a starter for his country, and attracted the likes of Real Madrid, that now seems unlikely.
Liverpool have top midfielders and they should not be spending big money on someone who is not going to play every week.
