Angelo Stiller opens the door to signing for Real Madrid in 2026: 'I'd like to…'

The German footballer praises Wirtz's decision to leave for Liverpool and states that he also wants to play abroad

Angelo Stiller has hinted at his future intentions. His statements have set off the alarm at Santiago Bernabéu, since he doesn't hide his international ambitions and opens the door to Real Madrid.

"I'm interested in moving abroad at some point," he recently confessed.

The German midfielder praised Florian Wirtz's decision. "I thought his signing for Liverpool was great," he stated in an interview.

However, Stiller has a very clear goal. "At the end of my career, I want to play in the United States," he asserted emphatically.

The economic operation

Stuttgart has set a price for its star. Stiller's current valuation is around 50 million euros. His contract includes a special release clause: for 36 million, any club can sign him starting in 2026.

There is an alternative way to speed up the operation. Stuttgart could pay the player two million to cancel that clause ahead of time.

This amount makes Stiller an affordable option. Real Madrid is studying the financial viability of the signing.

The Toni Kroos factor

The German connection plays an essential role. Toni Kroos has already personally recommended Stiller to Florentino Pérez.

The former Real Madrid president listened carefully to Kroos's words. The opinion of the former midfielder carries weight in Valdebebas.

Both footballers share an agent. Volker Struth has managed the careers of Kroos and Stiller for years.

This coincidence facilitates potential negotiations. Contacts between the parties are already established.

Madridist strategy

Real Madrid doesn't want to rush this operation. The board prefers to study all possible scenarios.

Stiller's age, 23 years old, fits the future project. His profile matches the merengue playing philosophy.

The club will monitor his performance this season. The German's statistics will determine the next step.

Meanwhile, Stiller continues to shine at Stuttgart. His development will determine whether Madridist interest turns into a formal offer.

The operation won't be solved until 2026. Both the player and Real Madrid have time to assess the suitability of the transfer.

The coming months will be key to defining the future. The German midfielder keeps all options open as he continues to grow in the Bundesliga.
