  "account": "AC Milan has identified Angelo Stiller as a potential successor to their veteran midfielder, Luka Modric. The Italian club is reportedly considering Stiller as a possible replacement when Modric retires. The 41-year-old German international is set to leave VfB Stuttgart for a fixed transfer fee of €40 million. However, Stiller's contract situation may allow him to be available for less than this clause during the summer transfer window. Markus Krösche, formerly the sporting director of Eintracht Frankfurt, is tipped to play a key role in Milan's attempts to sign Stiller. As Head of Football at AC Milan from January 2027, Krösche's extensive connections in Germany and knowledge of the Bundesliga could prove invaluable in a potential transfer.",
