Real Madrid keeps working hard to complete their squad for the upcoming season. So far, the only official signing is the young center-back Dean Huijsen, but the club doesn't stop in their attempt to strengthen all lines. The midfield, where Aurélien Tchouaméni has been essential, is one of the areas to improve.
The need for competition in midfield
Tchouaméni has been key in Ancelotti's system, providing physicality and balance. However, Real Madrid wants to make sure he isn't left alone in that position. The idea is to bring in a player who can provide freshness and options for the new coach, Xabi Alonso.
With Ancelotti out and Alonso in, the team is committed to tactical renewal and adding depth in midfield. That's why the search for a talented and promising midfielder has intensified in recent weeks.
Interest in a young Bundesliga talent
Among the names mentioned to strengthen the midfield is a player who has stood out in the Bundesliga. This 24-year-old midfielder excelled at Stuttgart with 47 matches, 4 goals, 11 assists, and was key in the German Cup.
This is Angelo Stiller, who is said to have already accepted a preliminary agreement with Real Madrid for a contract until 2030. His relationship with Xabi Alonso, who knows him well from the Bundesliga, could be key to closing the deal.
Ongoing negotiations and other options on the agenda
Real Madrid has already started negotiations with Stuttgart to finalize Stiller's signing. The German club seems willing to listen to offers, while Madrid moves forward to bring in a midfielder to compete with Tchouaméni.
In addition, the club is also considering the buyback of Nico Paz, another young talent from La Fábrica who currently plays for Italian side Como. Madrid has an option for eight million euros to bring him back, and the deal is expected to be completed in the coming days, before the Club World Cup.
A challenge for Tchouaméni and a reinforcement for Madrid
With the possible arrival of Angelo Stiller, Aurélien Tchouaméni will have a new direct rival in midfield. This could be a stimulus for both players and for the team in general, which seeks greater competition and quality in that area.
Moreover, the arrival of new midfielders aligns with Xabi Alonso's plan to build a versatile and competitive team in Spain and Europe. Madrid's midfield is preparing for a demanding season with high expectations.
