Fabrizio Romano reports on the player who interests Real Madrid: 'Never...'

Throughout the entire summer transfer window, several players were linked with a possible signing for Real Madrid. While the vast majority were just rumors, Angelo Stiller was a real interest for the team. According to Fabrizio Romano: "It never reached an agreement with Angelo Stiller," indicating how close the German was to the white club.

Given the need to strengthen the midfield, Xabi Alonso considered Stiller the ideal signing. It is no wonder, since during his years as Bayer Leverkusen's coach, Xabi was able to closely observe the player's quality. Although no agreement was reached, Fabrizio indicated that a signing could still be possible in the future.

According to what we know at Defensa Central, Stiller could leave VfB Stuttgart for just €36.5 million. A very affordable value for a player already established in the elite of German soccer. If Stiller keeps or improves his quality this season, his signing for Real Madrid could be a great possibility.

Xabi Alonso's desire

At 24 years old, Angelo Stiller has become the great star of VfB Stuttgart. Trained in Bayern Munich's youth academy, Stiller made the leap to the Bundesliga with Hoffenheim in 2021. An important step where, over 2 seasons, Stiller developed the qualities for which Real Madrid has set its sights on him.

His vision of the game, ball distribution, and ability to break through opponents' lines have made him a valuable midfielder. Playing 4,325 yds. (3,954 m) during last season, Stiller was key to winning the German Cup. With 2 assists, the German helped the club make history.

While he has a contract until 2028, Real Madrid could carry out his signing during the next transfer window. His low value makes him a completely irresistible player for Xabi Alonso. In addition, Stiller's playing style fits perfectly with Xabi's, increasing the interest in his future transfer.

The German gem

With the summer transfer window closed for a few days now, Real Madrid will have to wait to sign Stiller. This, instead of being a setback, is a great opportunity for the player and the team. Throughout this entire campaign, Stiller will be able to fully consolidate Real Madrid's interest and therefore his possible signing for the team.
