Scouts from Arsenal, along with representatives from Manchester City, Man Utd, and Newcastle, have watched VfB Stuttgart's Chema Andrés and provided very positive reports about the 20-year-old Spanish holding midfielder. Any potential move for the player is complicated by Real Madrid, who sold him to the German club and included a £10m buy-back clause for this summer. Madrid are contemplating activating this clause. Sources suggest that if the Spanish club allowed Andrés to move elsewhere, they would probably require a new, moderate buy-back clause to be included in the deal. The player is a Spain U21 international with 4 caps. He joined Stuttgart from Real Madrid II in July 2025 for a €3 million fee, and his current contract runs until 2030. In the current Bundesliga season, he has made 17 appearances, scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €15.00m.
