The cheap midfielder Real Madrid can sign next year

The star who could be signed by Real Madrid for an affordable price to strengthen its midfield

Since it can no longer count on Kroos and Modrić, Real Madrid has been searching for a replacement to strengthen its midfield. Of all the players the club has targeted, Angelo Stiller has managed to keep himself on its radar. According to Defensa Central, his signing could be finalized for the accessible amount of €36 million.

This is due to a clause the player has in his contract with VfB Stuttgart. However, this clause will be activated in 1 year, and Stuttgart has an option to avoid it. If the club pays him a certain amount of money, it would eliminate this clause, which would be a highly undesirable situation for Real Madrid.

Despite this, the club remains extremely interested in a player who is favored by Xabi Alonso. His profile fits perfectly with the play style the coach has instilled in Real Madrid. For now, the only thing Real Madrid can do is wait until next summer to begin negotiations with Angelo Stiller.

A unique opportunity

In a market where values are increasingly higher for any player, Stiller's clause is a surprise. The 24-year-old German midfielder is one of Stuttgart's main figures. Having been part of the team since 2023, Stiller has established himself as an undisputed starter and an extremely decisive player.

During last season, Stiller played 4,325 yds. (3,954 m) of game time, scoring 4 goals and providing 11 assists. His tactical intelligence, ability to organize play, and ball control are some of his most outstanding qualities. In addition, Stiller has also stood out for his ability to control the pace of matches.

Young and with a great future ahead, Real Madrid considers him the ideal signing to strengthen its midfield. His clause for next season is simply an opportunity the club doesn't want to miss. Even so, given Stuttgart's option to eliminate this clause, Real Madrid knows it must act with concern.

Another German star

After Toni Kroos's legendary decade at Real Madrid, Angelo Stiller could follow in his compatriot's footsteps. His experience in the Bundesliga inspires trust in his adaptation to Spanish soccer. Moreover, Xabi Alonso knows the player perfectly well due to the matches he had against Stuttgart during his time at Bayer Leverkusen.
