Álvaro Benito Recommends a Signing to Real Madrid in the Middle of the Netherlands - Spain

Unexpected Name Put on the Table to Join the White Team

Real Madrid was very alert to the match that pitted Netherlands against Spain this Thursday. It is true that Luis de la Fuente didn't include Asencio in the squad for the duel. But even so, there were names they followed very closely as potential signings.

Huijsen debuted with the national team and Frimpong was a torment for the Spanish defense, both leaving good impressions. But Álvaro Benito surprised during the Cadena Ser broadcast. He pointed to another footballer to recommend to Real Madrid for signing after his match.

It is the Milan midfielder, Reijnders, who had a great match and scored the second goal for his team. Benito didn't hesitate to praise him: "This is a cannon," he assured. He also had no qualms in pointing out that "he'd be perfect for Real Madrid."

In fact, when Madrid and Milan faced each other, he was already one of the standouts in the Rossoneri victory. Bernabéu was able to witness firsthand the level of the Dutch footballer. He is now once again strongly rumored as a potential signing for the next season.

They Have Been Following Him for a While but His Signing Seems Unlikely to Happen.

Last season they already focused on Reijnders for his performance at Milan. But during the European Championship, he didn't reach the desired level, although he did show some flashes in the matches. But it was insufficient for what was expected after the quality he has shown.

Looking ahead to this summer, although he is one of the names they have monitored at the white club. However, it seems unlikely that his signing could happen by Real Madrid. Among other things, because of the fortune Milan will demand to finalize his transfer.

But also because Ceballos is having a very good season until his injury. Meanwhile, Camavinga and Tchouaméni seem to have stepped up in recent matches. They are not considering selling either of them, and if they were to do so, Zubimendi is the favorite for the whites.
