He had things to prove during this Euro, and he responded in the best possible way. After a season spent in Saudi Arabia, the Spanish defender had a superb competition on German soil, being the defensive leader of La Roja. To the point where several clubs, Real Madrid at the top of the list, hope to bring him back to Europe during this summer market.
The daily life AS reveals new elements on this file this Thursday. First, the media confirms the very strong interest of Real Madrid for his services, in particular because the player pleases Real Madrid a lot. A mutual interest, since the player is crazy about the idea of being able to join the reigning Spanish and European champion, aware that the train only passes once (unless his name is Kylian Mbappé).

He is even prepared to make huge financial sacrifices. He is thus willing to give up his 24 million a year at Al-Nassr and settle for a relatively low salary at Madrid, at the bottom of the Madrid salary scale. There is a problem, however: the Saudi club does not want to let him leave without a transfer fee, whereas the Merengues do not want to pay a single euro and want him to arrive free of any contract.
Not particularly comfortable in his new Saudi life, the player trained at Athletic therefore risks having to go to a showdown with his club to force a departure to Madrid. The summer will be long, and it is possible that the situation will be resolved in the very last moments of the transfer window. Are the three parties doomed to come to an agreement?
