VfB Stuttgart can plan with Chema Andrés in their squad going into the 2026-27 season, according to Diario AS.

The Spanish daily paper is aware that Real Madrid will not exercise their buy-back option in this current transfer window.

Madrid are convinced that another season at Stuttgart would be beneficial for the defensive midfielder's development.

The 21-year-old had repeatedly emphasized in recent months that he wanted to return to the Galacticos in the future.

Regardless, the La Liga giants have a buy-back option and can lure Chema back to the club next year for €15million.

Stuttgart had signed the Spaniard from Real Madrid a year ago for €3million – he made 39 appearances the Swabians last season.
