In latest occasions Actual Madrid have been closely linked with a transfer for Josko Gvardiol. Nonetheless, it seems to be like they’ve now given up on the chase for the Croatian.
In accordance with Report, Actual Madrid have recognized Benfica’s Antonio Silva as a substitute. The report states that the 19 years previous would price lower than the RB Leipzig defender.
That’s why Los Blancos have identified him as a replacement. The idea for Real Madrid is to add a star player in his early twenties. They already have Vinicius Junior, Rodrgyo, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga in their early twenties.
Now Los Blancos want to add another young defender. Based on this Silva is a good profile. He is only 19 years old and he has a lot of time to reach his potential.
The Real Madrid Josko Gvardiol saga
The Croatian has been a regular in the Bundesliga for two years now. The Leipzig defender was outstanding in the World Cup as well.
However, even before the world cup, he was on Los Blanco’s radar. The issue regarding his arrival at Santiago Bernabeu is his price tag. RB Leipzig are demanding close to €100 million for him.
While Real Madrid are finding it difficult to agree on this price tag. Although they retain an interest in the 21 years old but €100 million might be a bit too much for them.
The likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal have shown interest in him. But so far it looks like no one is leading the race to sign him. Also, Leipzeg will fight hard to keep its priced asset.
Antonio Silva to Real Madrid?
Prima facie it looks unlikely Los Blancos will make a move for the Portuguese. It is only this season that he has broken into Benefica’s first team.
He is yet to complete one full season in senior football as well. Although he may have huge potential but a move to Los Blancos might be too soon for him. It has been seen that the pressure of playing for a club like the Spanish side is too much for young players.
Alternatively, Los Blancos are on the lookout for a younger participant who can slot in very simply. In different phrases, they’re on the lookout for their subsequent mini galactico. Thus Silva is but to grow to be that participant. He not less than wants 2-3 years of top-flight expertise earlier than he can take the subsequent step in his profession.
Thus it’s probably Actual Madrid will look to signal Gvardiol. He’s extra confirmed than Silva and he has good expertise in top-flight soccer. Not solely this the participant himself is an enormous fan of the membership. He has already declared that Los Blancos are the most important membership in world soccer.
