VfB Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller has parted company with super-agent Pini Zahavi and will sign with Volker Struth and his agency, Sports360, in the coming days, according to Sport Bild.
According to the report, Struth is expected to seek a substantial salary increase for his new client, with Stiller currently earning "just" €2 million a year at Stuttgart.
Given the interest in Stiller from other clubs, the 23-year-old Germany international should be in a strong negotiating position.
Barcelona are believed to be very keen on Stiller, who has also been linked with Premier League clubs. A return to Bayern, where he came through the youth ranks, is not on the cards, according to the report.
Stuttgart would prefer to keep Stiller, but a bid in the region of €40 million could force them to consider selling the central midfielder.
Stiller is tied to the club until 2027.
