Real Madrid transfer news 2025 |
🔍 Who is Angelo Stiller?
Angelo Stiller, currently playing for VfB Stuttgart, has been one of the standout performers in the Bundesliga. The 23-year-old defensive midfielder boasts excellent playmaking vision and composure under pressure. In the 2024-25 season, he made 47 appearances across all competitions, scoring 4 goals and providing 11 assists.
His commanding presence in midfield, coupled with his tactical intelligence, also attracted interest from Premier League giants Liverpool earlier this season.
💰 Transfer Fee & Contract Details
Stiller recently extended his contract with Stuttgart until 2028, placing a €60 million release clause on him. While Real Madrid are confident in agreeing on personal terms with the German midfielder, the price tag remains a sticking point in negotiations.
🔄 Xabi Alonso’s Transfer Plans for Midfield Reinforcement
With Xabi Alonso now at the helm, Real Madrid’s transfer strategy has shifted to long-term squad development. The club has already strengthened their backline by signing Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back and Dean Huijsen at centre-back from Bournemouth.
Now, the focus is on rebuilding the midfield, and Stiller’s arrival could help bring balance, especially after the exits of Toni Kroos and the expected departure of Luka Modric.
🔙 Real Madrid Looking to Trigger Buy-Back Clause for Nico Paz
In another exciting development, Real Madrid are reportedly looking to re-sign academy graduate Nico Paz from Como, according to Matteo Moretto of Relevo (via Goal). The Spanish giants are expected to activate the €8 million buy-back clause in his contract.
Paz left Madrid in 2024 and joined Como, playing a crucial role under Cesc Fabregas, helping the newly promoted side finish 10th in Serie A. He contributed 15 goals (6 goals and 9 assists) in 35 appearances and was crowned the Serie A Best U-23 Player.
Paz primarily plays as an attacking midfielder, but his versatility allows him to operate as a centre-forward or right winger. In four matches as a striker this season, he notched a goal and an assist.
🏁 A New Era for Real Madrid’s Midfield Begins
The potential signings of Angelo Stiller and Nico Paz could mark the dawn of a new midfield era at the Santiago Bernabeu. As Xabi Alonso builds his team for long-term success, expect Real Madrid to continue making strategic moves in the summer transfer window.
