Real Madrid Confidencial Chelsea and Arsenal Give Juni Calafat a 'Touch', Real Madrid Misses Out on a Jewel
Juni Calafat is very close to losing a future transfer for Real Madrid, to go to the Premier
Real Madrid always relies on Juni Calafat to close the transfers of the most promising young players. The director of scouting has been keeping an eye on several players he has recommended. But one of them is now slipping through his fingers because of Chelsea and Arsenal.
The whites are looking for central defenders for next season, but who have a great future. One of the players who had appeared on the table was Vitor Reis. Calafat recommended the transfer of this young Palmeiras player because of his potential.
They had already started to work and it seemed that they could have the pole position to get his services. However, in the last few hours the information that has coming in makes the operation is in seriously endangered. The Premier League is reportedly keeping a close eye on the Brazilian central defender.
This has been confirmed by journalist Florian Plettenberg, who points to Chelsea and Arsenal as rivals for Madrid. Both London clubs are reportedly preparing an offensive for Vitor Reis. This leaves Calafat in trouble because he could lose the jewel he considered a great transfer.
The most promising central defender, who could slip away from Real Madrid
Real Madrid were keeping a close eye on Vitor Reis after a recommendation from Juni Calafat. Calafat considered him to be the most promising center-back in South America and said he was the transfer they had to make. But now it seems he is heading toward the Premier League.
The Bernabéu didn't see the need to strengthen in January as urgent and have calmed down operations a bit. The emergence of Raúl Asencio was something they had not counted on. With the youth player in the team, they are confident that Militão and Rüdiger will recover next season.
They also point to Joan Martínez as a player to keep in mind when he recovers from his cruciate ligament injury. Bringing in Vitor Reis could put a stop to the progress of the youngsters at La Fábrica. That's why Chelsea and Arsenal have been able to beat them to the punch for the Brazilian.
