Stuttgart sign Chema Andres from Real Madrid

Stuttgart: Midfielder Chema Andres has joined VfB Stuttgart from Real Madrid. The 20-year-old midfielder, who has signed a contract through to June 2030, has been given the number 30 shirt by the Bundesliga outlet.

He took his first steps as a footballer as a five-year-old with Betera before spending three seasons in UD Levante’s youth system. After joining Real Madrid’s academy in 2018 – when he was just 13 years old – he rose through Los Blancos’ youth ranks and soon made the step up to senior level, spending the 2024/25 campaign with the second team in the Spanish third division.

The holding midfielder registered three assists in 35 appearances for Real Madrid Castilla, as well as two direct goal involvements in 13 UEFA Youth League outings. He made three appearances for Madrid’s first team – two in La Liga and another in the Copa del Rey – and was part of Xabi Alonso’s squad at the FIFA Club World Cup this summer. IANS
