**Real Madrid Enters Race for VfB Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller**

**Stuttgart, Germany –** VfB Stuttgart midfielder and German international Angelo Stiller is attracting significant attention from Europe’s top clubs, with Real Madrid reportedly joining Liverpool in the pursuit of the talented 24-year-old.

According to Spanish sports newspaper Marca, Stiller is on a shortlist of potential midfield targets for Xabi Alonso, who is tipped to become the next Real Madrid coach. Alonso is reportedly seeking a “conductor” for his midfield, and Stiller is considered alongside his current Leverkusen player Exequiel Palacios and AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders.

Marca describes Stiller as “the most organized of the three” and estimates his price tag at around €40 million. Previous reports in Germany suggested a release clause of €36.5 million, but that is not believed to become active until the summer of 2026.

VfB Stuttgart is reportedly keen to retain Stiller and could potentially buy out the clause for €4 million. The club is said to be planning to keep him at the club.

Stiller is viewed as a potential successor to Toni Kroos in the German national team and Real Madrid are yet to adequately replace the midfielder. The battle for Stiller’s signature could become one of the transfer sagas of the upcoming summer window.
