After Bellingham, Florentino Wants to Repeat Signing in England and Has the Candidate

They Want to Follow the Example with Jude and Are Preparing to Sign a Star from the Premier League

Real Madrid seems to have taken a liking to the English market, with several signings in the works. After the good experience with Bellingham and his immediate impact on the white team, Florentino already has the next candidate in his sights, who would come from England.

This is Kobbie Mainoo, a young footballer from Manchester United who is one of the great English talents. Real Madrid have been following him closely for some time and are satisfied with his progression. To the point that they are already reconsidering his possible signing.

In fact, the doubts about his possible renewal with Manchester United have raised alarms. It is true that he has a contract until 2027 and has the option to extend it for one more year. But for now, he is not clear about it and could end up leaving in 2026.

In this scenario, Real Madrid see growing opportunities to sign him. He is a young player, which therefore fits the club's policy for the future. He has quality, and they will closely monitor his performance with a view to his possible incorporation.

The Focus on Mainoo Although Real Madrid Don't Believe It's a Priority

Real Madrid will have the focus on Mainoo as they consider him a potential signing. However, they don't consider it a priority, as they don't see urgency in the midfield. They are calm about the summer in terms of strengthening that position.

Tchouaméni has stepped up in recent weeks, and Ceballos was having a great season. This makes signing a center-back or a left-back more interesting for the club. That's why it seems unlikely that his arrival will happen this summer.

However, just like with Bellingham, they won't lose sight if an opportunity arises to sign him. If he continues not to renew and doesn't extend his contract until 2028, next summer they will explore the possibility, thinking of having another future star coming from England.
