Marca revealed that the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals between Spain and the Netherlands will be of particular interest to Real Madrid.
The club is looking to bolster its defense next summer by signing a young player with the potential to explode at the Santiago Bernabéu.
According to the Spanish report, Real Madrid’s radar is focused on two players: Bournemouth and Spain international Dejan Huijsen, and Ajax and Netherlands international Jorel Hato.
Therefore, Real Madrid’s scouts will closely monitor the Spain vs. Netherlands matches to determine which of the two players is best suited to contribute and report back to Florentino Pérez’s management.
Practically speaking, signing Huijsen is the easiest option for Real Madrid, as his contract has a €50 million release clause, and the player is Spanish and would be very happy to join Los Blancos.
Hato has the ability to play at left-back in addition to his primary role as a central defender, an idea that also appeals to Real Madrid’s management after the failure to sign Alphonso Davies.
It should be noted that the duo are on Real Madrid’s list, which also includes many other names, such as Arsenal defender William Saliba, RB Leipzig defender Lukeba, and Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate.
