Real Madrid has activated the directive and is trying to close all signings for the next season quickly. Since the departure of Toni Kroos, it is considered necessary to incorporate a midfielder who provides balance to the team, as has been seen this season. Many names are being mentioned, but it was Kroos himself who recommended a compatriot directly to Florentino Pérez: Angelo Stiller.
Angelo Stiller: Toni Kroos's Suggestion to Real Madrid
Sky Sports has discovered that Toni Kroos has put Angelo Stiller's name on Real Madrid's table. The priority in the coming weeks is to strengthen the midfield, and he is the player he likes the most. He considers him a similar profile to himself and believes he fits perfectly with the needs of this squad.
At 24 years old, Angelo Stiller is one of the most sought-after footballers in the entire Bundesliga. Months ago, he renewed his contract with Stuttgart until 2028, but with a caveat: he included a release clause that makes him a bargain. The German has a price of 40 million euros, but it is only activatable from July 1, 2026.
This could pose a problem for Real Madrid, which could see Stiller's price increase considerably this summer.
Real Madrid Has Alternatives to Angelo Stiller
The German is the favorite, especially after Toni Kroos's direct recommendation, but he is not the only midfielder on Real Madrid's list.
In this regard, the new coach, Xabi Alonso, has put the name of Exequiel Palacios on the table. He knows him perfectly from his time at Leverkusen and fits his play style. He could leave at an economical price due to the excellent relations between both clubs.
On the other hand, we find Tijjani Reijnders from Milan. His starting price is around 60 million euros and he is on Manchester City's radar. He is very much liked at Real Madrid, although it is true that there are other priorities ahead.
Ahead of all of them is Angelo Stiller, willing to force his departure from Stuttgart to head to Real Madrid. But as of today, it doesn't seem like an easy signing for the white club. We will have to wait...
