Real Madrid will have to fend off Premier League interest to sign €45m-rated midfielder | OneFootball

According to a report from AS, Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller as part of their long-term transfer planning.

The German midfielder has become one of the standout names in the Bundesliga and is already attracting attention from several of Europe’s top clubs.

Stiller, currently valued at around €45 million on Transfermarkt, is tied to Stuttgart until the summer of 2028. That long contract means any move will not come cheaply.

In fact, it is expected that any interested club would need to pay over €50 million to secure his signature.

For Real Madrid, who have yet to bring in a reinforcement in his position, the 23-year-old has emerged as a serious candidate.

Xabi Alonso keen on reinforcement in midfield

One of the driving forces behind Madrid’s interest is head coach Xabi Alonso.

Reports suggest that Alonso is pushing the club to seriously consider a move for Stiller, who fits the profile of a midfielder capable of dictating play and offering balance.

However, Stuttgart are unwilling to let their star go easily. They see him as a vital figure in their project and are prepared to resist any offers unless the price is irresistible.

Furthermore, it is not only Madrid who are keeping tabs on Stiller, as Several Premier League clubs are monitoring the situation, with scouts regularly following his progress in the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich, his former club, are also said to be watching developments closely, which could make any potential transfer battle even more competitive.

Market Value Could Rise Further

If Stiller continues his strong form this season, his market value is likely to increase beyond the €50 million mark.

That could complicate matters for Real Madrid, especially with financially powerful Premier League sides expected to enter the race.

For now, Madrid remain attentive. With Alonso eager to strengthen his midfield options, Stiller is firmly on their radar.

His performances this season could prove decisive in shaping whether Los Blancos move early to secure him or risk being caught in a bidding war next summer.
