VfB Stuttgart has opened talks with RSC Anderlecht regarding a potential summer transfer for midfielder Nathan De Cat. The 17-year-old Belgian prospect is viewed as a possible replacement for Angelo Stiller, whose future at the German club remains uncertain. This development follows ongoing speculation surrounding Stiller's tenure in Stuttgart.

According to information from Sky Germany, VfB Stuttgart is actively seeking midfield reinforcements. Nathan De Cat, one of Anderlecht's most promising talents, is high on their wishlist. His performances in Belgium have attracted the attention of several top European clubs.

To prise the young Nathan De Cat away from Anderlecht, Stuttgart is expected to pay a significant fee. The estimated transfer sum is at least €25 million, plus potential bonuses. This reflects the high value placed on the midfielder, both by his current club and by potential buyers.

In addition to Stuttgart, other European powerhouses are also closely monitoring De Cat's situation. Clubs such as Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, Arsenal, and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in the Anderlecht talent, increasing the competition for Stuttgart.

The search for a replacement for Angelo Stiller is complex. Besides Nathan De Cat, Caspar Jander of Southampton has also been mentioned as a potential candidate. Jander would also likely cost around €25 million. Meanwhile, Stuttgart itself is reportedly demanding €50 million for Stiller, should he depart.

The upcoming transfer window promises to be exciting for both VfB Stuttgart and RSC Anderlecht. The discussions surrounding Nathan De Cat could lead to a significant shift in the composition of both teams, depending on the outcome of negotiations and the future of Angelo Stiller.
