Arsenal and Man City Scout Stuttgart's Chema Andrés as Real Madrid Retain Buy-Back Control

Madrid's buy-back rights keep the final say over the midfielder's next step.

Overview

Reports say Arsenal and Manchester City have informed Real Madrid they will track the 20-year-old closely ahead of future windows.
Real Madrid hold 50% of his rights and can re-sign him for €13.5m in 2026 or €18m in 2027, a structure that effectively gives them veto power over any move.
Chema Andrés has become a first-team regular for Stuttgart this season, with some reports noting he has displaced Atakan Karazor.
Stuttgart are pleased with his progress, have him under contract until 2030, and are described as keen to keep him.
Madrid are monitoring his development as a potential midfield option and are not rushing a decision on activating their clause.
