Real Madrid is always in the spotlight and Florentino Pérez has shown his ability to handle the transfer market. The club, always seeking excellence, has pulled off a masterstroke by landing one of the most promising talents in Europe. This time, the surprise comes with the transfer of a young midfielder who could be key to the future of the team.
Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has shown his ability to anticipate the club's needs. After a successful season, the club is clear that it needs to reinforce key positions, especially with an eye to the future. Although many expected to sign established players, what no one anticipated is that Florentino would go for a gem that FC Barcelona was close to signing during the summer.
Florentino Pérez: Fishing in La Masia
In this transfer window, Real Madrid has focused on one of Europe's most promising youngsters. His situation at his current club could open the door to his departure. While Laporta is concentrating on other targets, Florentino seems ready to take advantage of any opportunity.
The transfer that could change the course of the market is that of Xavi Simons, a Leipzig player. Despite his young age, the midfielder has shown great technical ability, vision and growth potential. Real Madrid has wasted no time and has begun working on his transfer. Laporta is now left open-mouthed, since he tried to sign him just a few months ago.
Xavi Simons: the Jewel of La Masia that Laporta Misses
Xavi Simons is currently in the sights of Europe's top clubs. The surprising thing, however, is that Florentino Pérez is very close to signing him for Real Madrid. Simons trained at La Masia and was very close to returning to Camp Nou last summer, but it didn't materialize. In the meantime, Florentino has made a move and managed to attract the young talent, who seems to see his future at Santiago Bernabéu.
Despite his young age, Xavi Simons has been a key player for Leipzig. His ability to control the ball, his vision and ability to assist have made him one of the most sought-after prospects. While Laporta sees this gem slip away, Florentino has managed to get ahead of him and put Madrid in a privileged position to sign him.
