Juni Calafat, Heading to Italy to Scout a Serie A Star: Special Request

The star player that Florentino Pérez has asked Juni Calafat to keep an eye on for a future transfer

One of the positions that Real Madrid need the most to strengthen is left wing. Given the poor form of Mendy and Fran García, the one chosen by the Meringue team is Alphonso Davies. However, the Canadian is not the only fwinger who has caught the attention of Florentino Pérez.

By asking Juni Calafat to travel to Italy, Real Madrid's head scout has been tasked to keep an eye on Andrea Cambiaso. The Juventus winger is having a great season with the Italian team, displaying an appropriate level for the white club. His age and the quality he has shown have placed him as a solid option for the left wing.

However, interest from other clubs such as Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United has been a problem. Aware of everything Cambiaso can bring, Florentino Pérez is not looking to lose the transfer of the Italian star.

Coming through the youth ranks at Genoa, Cambiaso has dazzled Europe with his high level. Playing his third season with Juventus, the Italian has become a key piece for Thiago Motta. His 1,581 minutes played are proof of his importance in the team.

Another sign of his importance is the contract he has with the Old Lady, which ends in 2029. Despite this, Real Madrid have set the Italian as one of their targets. Aware of the complications that the transfer of Davies may present, the club has a quality alternative for the Canadian.

Being able to perform as both a left and right back, his transfer would be a great help for Real Madrid. However, the team intends to closely monitor his progress to determine the future of his possible transfer.

A Substitute at the Height

Although Davies is one of the best left-backs in the world, Cambiaso's level is not far behind the Canadian. With several months ahead to study his progress, the Italian's arrival at Valdebebas depends entirely on him.
