Angelo Stiller looks increasingly likely to remain at VfB Stuttgart beyond the summer.
According to Sport Bild, the 25-year-old's €36.5 million release clause expires today, July 15.
Stuttgart no longer have to worry about potentially activating an option to buy out the clause for around €3.5 million, as they now hold all the cards regarding the midfielder's future.
As a result, interested clubs – such as Manchester United, who scouted Stiller several times last season – now face a much more difficult task if they want to sign him.
However, the report also claims that Stiller's release clause will become active again in summer 2027, when interested clubs could renew their efforts to sign him.
The Germany international is under contract with Stuttgart until 2028.
