According to the German media "Bild", Real Madrid coach Alonso originally did not want to let go of midfielder Chema Andres this summer. Now that the player has performed well under Hoeness, Real Madrid can repurchase him next summer.

The 3-0 away victory over Wolfsburg once again demonstrated the importance of Chema to Stuttgart. The No. 6 player directed dispatches and swept interceptions. So far this season, Hoeness's team has won four consecutive games and has the second-best defense behind Bayern (conceding only 6 goals), ranking third in the standings - this is also due to Chema, who has also pushed captain Karazor to the bench.

Chema's contract with Stuttgart runs until 2030, but no one in Stuttgart really believes that he will stay here forever, and Real Madrid has a buy-back clause for him.

According to "Sports Bild", during the summer when the deal was being made, there was a secret phone call between Hoeness and Real Madrid coach Alonso. The two of them knew and admired each other. During the 23/24 season, Leverkusen and Stuttgart staged a fierce duel.

Alonso did not want to let go of Chema Andres in the summer: he saw great potential in the midfielder, who made two brief appearances for Real Madrid's first team last season.

But when Stuttgart made the request, Alonso made an exception: because he knew in whose hands he was leaving his top talent. It is reported that it was also mentioned in this phone conversation that Alonso was happy to see Chema go to Stuttgart because of Hoeness, who has won a high reputation as a player developer. A typical example is Stiller. Hoeness trained him from a substitute player at Hoffenheim into a midfield playmaker sought after across Europe.

In Stuttgart, the top brass now hope they can keep Cheema as long as possible. Real Madrid's buy-back clause will take effect next summer: by then, Real Madrid must pay 13.5 million euros to Stuttgart. And this amount will rise in the future: by 2027, the buy-back price of the defensive midfielder will reach 18 million euros.

In addition, if Real Madrid buys back the player and resells it, Stuttgart will have the right to match the offer: Stuttgart will be notified at that time and can match other clubs in terms of transfer fee.
