However, one of Merengues' priorities this summer is to maintain a dominant presence in the midfield, the absence of Toni Kroos is always felt.
The departure of Luka Modric will even more weaken Alonso's options, even if he still has Aurélien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavonga, Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde. However, Ceballos is the only one to favor the management of the game. The midfielder will therefore be the next point on the agenda once the defensive reinforcements are finalized.
Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid is interested in Angelo Stiller
Among the many names mentioned by the Merengues is the Stuttgart midfielder, Angelo Stiller, author of a remarkable performance in the Bundesliga in recent seasons. He also impressed at Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League this season, and Marca says that Real Madrid is considering a transfer for him.
He believes that he has the level of work and the qualities required for his summer recruits, rather than a star potential. Stiller is also recommended by Toni Kroos, which is a significant reference for an employer.
The transfer of Nico Paz is independent of the transfer of Stiller
The Merengues are also planning to exercise the purchase option of 8 million euros on Nico Paz, Como player, before the Club World Cup. Paz has made an impressive first season in Serie A, but the same media explains that this transfer has little impact on Real Madrid's desire to recruit Stiller, or a similar player.
Stiller's teammates suggest a transfer to Real Madrid
After his victory in the German Cup, Stuttgart celebrated in the streets, and Stiller was seen in the back of a convertible with his teammates Deniz Undav and Atakan Karazor. They were asked if they would be at the club next season, and Undav confirmed that he and Karazor would be present, but “maybe not him”, in reference to Stiller. A “Hala Madrid” followed.
