He is writing about Stuttgart\u2019s impressive midfielder Angelo Stiller<\/p>\n<p>He links Juventus directly, but says \u201ctop clubs from England are closely monitoring the situation.\u201d Chelsea have been linked in the past.<\/p>\n<h2>Chelsea could bend their own rules thanks to release clause<\/h2>\n<p>Stiller is 25, so a little older than the players Chelsea usually target. But there\u2019s a twist \u2013 he has a \u20ac40m release clause that makes him a possibility for the Blues despite their famous \u201cmodel\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>We wonder if that factor could offset our usual desire to buy young to try and ensure a profit further down the line? A more experienced option with lots of quality would do wonders for this midfield. The question is, if Stuttgart make it into the Champions League and Chelsea don\u2019t \u2013 will he want to make that step down?<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Another midfield option for the Blues this summer could be Valentin Barco, currently playing for our sister club Strasbourg, where he\u2019s just been nominated for a very impressive award.<\/p>\n<p>A transfer exclusive from Nicola Schira says Chelsea are preparing to extend Trevoh Chalobah\u2019s contract, a well deserved boost for the 26 year old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
