Chema Andrés Transfer from VfB Stuttgart to Real Madrid
According to AS, there is growing interest from top European clubs in Chema's situation, with several 'top' clubs at the highest European level having already shown interest. Madrid is reportedly delighted with his performance and is in an advantageous position. Last summer, an exit was agreed upon with an open return, and Stuttgart paid 5 million euros plus potential variables for half of his rights, which was an essential condition for Madrid. In 2026, recovering Chema will cost 13.5 million euros, and in 2027, the fee will rise to 18 million euros. Madrid is looking for a midfielder and Chema is liked. The operation reportedly has some complexities, as Weiss anticipated. At Stuttgart, they hope to have him for at least one more season. Madrid is both excited and calm about the situation, and the matter will be handled slowly and is expected to conclude in a few months, as none of the parties are in a hurry.
Chema Andrés stated to 'as' that a possible return to Real Madrid is not his main focus and that he is currently focused on his daily life, playing with the U21, and being happy at Stuttgart. Real Madrid has a buy-back option for Chema Andrés, which is set at 13.5 million euros in summer 2026. According to Spanish media reports, Real Madrid wants to make use of this option.
According to 'as', the Royals are planning for defensive midfielder Chema Andrés to return after the current season. Real sold Chema to VfB Stuttgart in the summer for a rumored three million euros, and a buy-back clause in 2026 would be set at 13.5 million euros.
According to Marca, the management of Real Madrid is seriously considering bringing back Chema Andrés, who is a player trained at the club.

Real Madrid has a buyback option for Chema Andrés for the upcoming summer valued at 13.5 million euros. The fee will be approximately 20 million euros in the following year, and the amount will be higher in 2028. If Real Madrid sells the Spanish U21 international to another club, Stuttgart will receive 50 percent of the transfer surplus.
