Ass: Real Madrid considers introducing German midfielder Stiller, Stuttgart asks for no less than 50 million euros

According to the Ass, Real Madrid is considering buying midfielder Stiller, and Stuttgart is asking for no less than 50 million euros.

After signing Wyson and Arnold in succession, Real Madrid hopes to introduce a midfielder to fill the vacancy left by Cross after retirement last summer, which is also one of Real Madrid's lineup shortcomings this season. Ass said that Real Madrid's first choice for midfield recruitment is Stiller, and for this reason Real Madrid has even slowed down the pace of introducing Benfica's left-back Alvaro Fernandez.

Stiller, 24, is a German midfielder. He made 47 appearances in Stuttgart this season, scoring 4 goals and 11 assists. Real Madrid's new coach Alonso knew Stiller very well when he coached in the Bundesliga and admired him very much. Stiller himself is willing to wear Real Madrid jerseys next season. Ass revealed that Real Madrid still needs to negotiate with Stuttgart, and the asking price for Stuttgart is no less than 50 million euros.

Stiller currently has a 36 million euro termination clause in his contract, but it will not be triggered until 2026. And Stuttgart can pay Stiller 2 million euros by 2026 and invalidate the termination clause. Therefore, it is almost impossible for Real Madrid to sign Stiller by paying the termination fee, but instead need to renegotiate.

Currently, Real Madrid regards midfield signings as the key to strengthening the lineup in the new season, and will consider it carefully. On the one hand, Real Madrid will analyze the benefits brought by possible player sales (such as Rodrigo), and on the other hand, it is also paying attention to Manchester City midfielder Rodri. Rodri's contract expires in 2027, and Real Madrid intends to sign him at a suitable price next summer. To this end, Real Madrid may not sign a new midfielder this summer, and may choose to sign a young midfielder as a temporary solution. After introducing Rodri next summer, the young midfielder can also become the team's future rotation player. And even in this case, Stiller is still the right person.

It is worth mentioning that Stiller's agent Volcker Struth was Cross's agent in the past, and after retiring, Cross has joined Volcker Struth's agent company and became one of the company's shareholders. Cross has a great influence on Real Madrid chairman Florentino. With his recommendation, Real Madrid will try to introduce Stiller.

"As" also stated that Real Madrid is still paying attention to Zubimendi. Zubimendi's contract termination fee is 60 million euros. Arsenal is close to signing him, but as long as the contract has not been officially signed, Real Madrid still has not ruled out this possibility.
