Real Madrid Targets New Left-Back Amidst Discards of Davies and Theo Hernández
After ruling out Alphonso Davies and Theo Hernández, Real Madrid has reportedly found another option for the left-back position.
Real Madrid has been monitoring Alphonso Davies for several seasons, but ultimately decided not to pursue his transfer. They chose to wait, which led Bayern Munich to push for an extension of his contract until 2030. As a result, other left-backs have been linked to Real Madrid, including Theo Hernández.
There is a high possibility that the French international will leave Milan, and several journalists predict he could join Real Madrid. However, with Fran and Mendy already in the squad, the club feels no urgency. They would only sign a left-back if they considered it a market opportunity, similar to how they viewed Alphonso Davies. According to Fichajes, Real Madrid is now eyeing Milos Kerkez, the left-back from Bournemouth.
Kerkez, who is 21 years old, has established himself in the Premier League. The report claims that Bournemouth is demanding €40 million for the Hungarian player. Real Madrid is clear that they would never pay that amount, and if they didn’t pursue Davies for €40 million in 2024, they won’t do so for this young player, no matter how promising he may seem.
Other Objectives:
RealMadridExclusivo can confirm that Real Madrid plans to sign other players in the summer of 2025. However, Kerkez is not among the top targets for left-back positions. Players like Miguel Gutiérrez and Álvaro Carreras are higher on the list, with both attracting interest from major European clubs.
The priority for Real Madrid next season is to sign a right-back and a center-back. Depending on potential departures, they may make additional signings, but as of now, unless something unexpected occurs, the club does not plan on making drastic changes to the squad. They have strong faith in the current group of players and believe they will prove their critics wrong.
