"Marca" magazine today flashes with news that Madrid's "Real" club may add a promising "Atletico" left-back this coming summer.
According to the source mentioned, the UEFA Champions League winners are willing to pay a 24 million ransom for the 19-year-old defender Theo Hernandez, who this season successfully played on loan at the "Deportivo Alaves" club.
T. Hernandez is a product of the "Atletico" team. "Rojiblancos" signed a new contract with the Frenchman at the start of the season, but it may be that "Real" will "steal" their biggest competitors.
Of course, "Atletico" is opposed to this deal, but not everything depends solely on them. According to "Marca", T. Hernandez and "Real" reached a verbal agreement, so the "whites" will only have to pay the ransom amount specified in the contract.
"Real" has been looking for someone to compete with Marcelo on the left in defense for several years now, as Fabio Coentrao almost doesn't play due to injuries this season.
T. Hernandez, who is currently actively pursued by "Liverpool," "Barcelona," and "Bayern," played 29 games this season in Spain.
