Manchester United and other parties interested in Chema Andres will only be able to sign him if Real Madrid decides not to exercise their clause. In that situation, he would not necessarily be available for a low price, as Stuttgart showed with the Nick Woltemade deal that they can negotiate firmly. However, his price may not be very high because Stuttgart would receive the full transfer fee.

Manchester United scouts are impressed by VfB Stuttgart's Spanish defensive midfielder, Chema Andrés. Other Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester City, and Newcastle, have also sent scouts to watch him. Manchester United face a complication as Real Madrid have a £10 million buy-back clause that they are considering activating this summer.
