On whether he wishes to return to Madrid later in his career, Andres said: 

“Of course, Real Madrid is a dream for every player, and I hope to return one day.After all, everyone knows it’s the biggest club in world football. But I’m very happy in Germany and never imagined it would be so good there.”

The midfielder has had an immediate impact at Stuttgart, putting increasing pressure on club captain Atakan Karazor when it comes to who partners Angelo Stiller in the heart of VfB’s midfield. 

Andres is not the only summer signing to hit the ground running for Stuttgart. Forward Bilal El Khannouss has also had an impactful start to his career at the MHP Arena, and VfB are already looking at trying to make his loan more permanent
