Florentino Pérez is always very alert to the market and doesn't lose sight of the players who left Real Madrid and are now doing well at other clubs in Europe. This is the case of forward Iker Bravo, who passed through Valdebebas and is now at Udinese. At 19 years old, he has already played 373 minutes across 14 matches, showing good progression.
During this time, Iker Bravo has managed to score a goal and provide an assist, leaving his market value reach 1.5 million. They are delighted with his progress there, and the plan is for him to continue growing there for several years, aiming to make money from his future transfer. It's no surprise to say that Udinese is a stepping-stone club, so Florentino remains alert to any developments.
SPORT has revealed that not only Real Madrid is behind Iker Bravo. The forward has a lot of interest in Spain, and when the white club didn't want to sign him permanently from his loan, other teams inquired about him. The key to his development lies in patience: he has enough quality and talent to succeed in this world and believes he made the right choice by selecting Udinese.
Iker Bravo's dream is clear: to return to Real Madrid. Despite being trained at La Masia, he left there on bad terms and felt more appreciated at La Fábrica. He didn't have opportunities under Raúl González's leadership at Castilla and had to move down to Juvenil A, where Arbeloa helped him showcase his full potential.
Why Did Iker Bravo End up Leaving Real Madrid?
The truth is that Iker Bravo arrived at La Fábrica with very good references and unbelievable potential, but he never quite stood out. Among other things, due to the lack of confidence given to him by Raúl González at Castilla, where he had few appearances.
These were so few that Arbeloa even had to call him for Juvenil A, where he did perform well... However, not well enough for Real Madrid to decide to pay his purchase clause from Leverkusen.
In any case, what Florentino Pérez has always been clear about is that he doesn't want to lose track of Iker Bravo. That's how it will be. At Udinese, he's playing well, and it's not ruled out to try to sign him if he continues with his upward projection in the coming years.
