Urgent warning from Angelo Stiller to Madrid: details of his signing come to light

Real Madrid seeks to strengthen their midfield to regain control of the game in the upcoming season

Real Madrid aren't satisfied with just strengthening their defense for next season. They've already signed Huijsen and are close to finalizing deals for Alexander-Arnold and Carreras, but the key remains in midfield. That's why Angelo Stiller's name has gained traction in recent hours.

A clear need in the midfield

This season has made clear a problem in Madrid's midfield. Xabi Alonso, the new coach, is looking for a talented player to control the game and recover the ball. Madrid needs a midfielder who can link defense and attack, a key piece that's been missing.

Dani Ceballos, who was also tried, couldn't establish himself. That's why the board is targeting Stiller, a footballer with good ball control and excellent positioning. The club wants to reverse this weakness as soon as possible, and Stiller is a perfect candidate.

Xabi Alonso's endorsement

Xabi Alonso knows Angelo Stiller very well. The new Madrid coach has seen the player up close in the Bundesliga, first at Hoffenheim and then at Stuttgart. His experience in Germany is a plus for Madrid, which hasn't turned to that market in years.

Stiller, who's 24 years old, has professional experience and a style that fits what Xabi is looking for in his team. This could make his adaptation and confidence in Madrid easier.

A cheap signing for the current market?

With a contract until 2028, Stiller is valued at about €38 million. An amount that, in today's times, could be considered affordable. Madrid is looking for a viable deal with a good return.

Let's not forget that more than a decade ago Toni Kroos arrived for €25 million. In comparison, Stiller could be a cheap signing. Moreover, the player might be interested in making the move to Spain and to Real Madrid.

Obstacles in the deal

Not everything is simple; Stiller's release clause is €36 million, but it won't be valid until 2026. In addition, Stuttgart can remove it by paying the player €2 million. This situation complicates negotiations.

That's why Madrid must negotiate directly with Stuttgart and not rely on the clause. Although time is running out and they want to close the signing before the Club World Cup, the deal is in Madrid's hands.

Stiller's future in Madrid's hands

The club faces a major challenge. If they want Stiller, they'll have to move quickly and negotiate well. Xabi Alonso's experience with the player could be key to convincing Stuttgart and the footballer himself.

Ultimately, Angelo Stiller's arrival at Real Madrid could be great news for the squad and a solution to one of their weakest points. Now it's a matter of waiting to see how negotiations progress and whether the young German finally wears white.
