Priority target signals openness to Real Madrid switch, will cost at least €50 million | OneFootball

According to a recent report from Marco Ruiz in AS, it has come to light that Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller is ready to sign for Real Madrid.

The 24-year-old German is seen as a perfect fit for Los Blancos’ ongoing rebuild, and he is fully open to joining the club as early as this summer.

It is no secret that Real Madrid are currently in the market for a central midfielder, and everything now points to Stiller becoming their next big signing.

Stiller ticks all the boxes, as he is young, consistent, proven in the Bundesliga, and fits Real Madrid’s financial plan. Xabi Alonso also approves of the player, which further boosts his chances.

While the Spanish club have not submitted an official offer yet, the player’s camp is optimistic. Stiller himself is said to be delighted with the possibility of playing for Real Madrid next season.

Although Stiller has a release clause of €36 million in his contract, it only becomes active in 2026. Until then, Stuttgart have the upper hand.

They can even cancel the clause early if they pay the midfielder €2 million before the start of that year. For now, though, the German club is looking to sell him for no less than €50 million.

As for Real Madrid, they are keeping things calm. They are evaluating other possible moves and may need to make a sale before moving forward.

Manchester City’s Rodri is also on their radar, but Stiller remains the more affordable and realistic option. With Stuttgart failing to qualify for Europe, Stiller is more open than ever to leaving.

Even so, with Alonso’s backing and strong ties between the player’s agents and Real Madrid, the deal is very much alive. All it needs now is for the Spanish club to act.
