Real Madrid have, for years now, launched an aggressive recruitment policy aimed at enlisting some of the biggest hopes on the planet before they explode elsewhere. Endrick is the latest example, and he will not be the last, that is obvious. If the Brazilian market is full of nuggets, the Spanish pool is just as interesting, as shown by the Olympic title and the Euro U19 gleaned by our Iberian neighbors this summer.
And so there is a new attacker who the Merengues like a lot according to AS : Juanlu Sanchez, from Sevilla. The 21-year-old is not a player who is particularly highlighted from a media point of view, but Real Madrid have been following him for a while now. A winger with superior physical qualities, but also technically gifted and versatile to the point that he sometimes plays as a midfielder at club level and even as a full-back, he is on the tablets of the Madrid management who hope that he will not extend at Sevilla, where his contract expires in 2026.
A good rating
His €20m release clause makes him a bargain, having scored once in four Spanish league games this season. But Real Madrid are, unsurprisingly, not the only big club interested in the Paris Olympic gold medallist, as the outlet reports that Manchester United are also planning to make a move in the near future.
Scouts commissioned by the Red Devils followed him at the Olympic Games, then during Sevilla’s first matches this season, and were convinced by what he showed. Suffice to say that in the coming months, Sevilla is likely to receive interesting offers and see its nugget slip away, especially since the sporting and financial situation of the 19th in La Liga is very tense…
