Real Madrid is keeping Chema Andrés, a 21-year-old midfielder from Stuttgart, among the players they aim to bring back after his development in Germany. The club decided not to exercise the buy-back option this summer, which was around 13.5 million euros, but they retain a new way to bring him back in 2027 following their Real Madrid transfer policy.

The decision is to allow Andrés to complete another season in the Bundesliga with playing time and continuity. The midfielder still belongs 50% to Real Madrid, a formula that lets Madrid control much of his future even though he currently plays for Stuttgart.

Real Madrid remains very attentive to Chema Andrés

Chema Andrés's progress in Germany has strengthened the belief that he could return to Santiago Bernabéu. The academy player left in the summer of 2025 seeking playing time in professional football and ended up earning a spot in Stuttgart's rotation.

During the 2025/26 Bundesliga season, he played 1,306 minutes and scored three goals. At 21 years old, his performance has also established him as one of the young Spanish midfielders that Madrid is monitoring from afar.

Real Madrid had the option to buy him back this summer for approximately 13.5 million euros after selling 50% of his rights to Stuttgart. Ultimately, they chose not to activate that option and allowed him to continue for another season in Germany.

The strategy does not mean giving up on the player. Real Madrid retains a new repurchase possibility for 2027, although the price will increase compared to the amount available during this transfer market.

Stuttgart will have Chema for another season

Stuttgart gains another year with Andrés in their squad. The midfielder has found in the Bundesliga the opportunity he sought when he decided to leave Castilla and face his first stable experience in one of the major European leagues.

The player himself has publicly left open the possibility of returning to Madrid someday. However, his immediate priority is to keep accumulating minutes in Germany and complete another season with prominence.

His value has also increased since leaving Valdebebas. Andrés left Madrid when his market value was below a million euros, and various estimates now place it around 20 million.

This growth explains why Real Madrid ensured to retain 50% of his rights and various mechanisms to bring him back. The operation follows the same path used in recent years with several players developed at La Fábrica.

The 2027 buy-back will be more expensive

The main difference will be in the price. The option available during 2026 was set at approximately 13.5 million, while for the summer of 2027, the reported buy-back price is around 18 million euros.

Real Madrid will have the entire 2026/27 season to continue evaluating Chema Andrés before making a final decision. His performance at Stuttgart and the needs of the midfield will determine if the club ultimately activates that second chance to bring him back.
