The work of Real Madrid's scouts has been simply unbelievable in recent years thanks to their great judgment. One of the main people responsible for the white team's squad being so talented is Juni Calafat. Therefore, he has now set his sights on who could possibly be the heir to Kostas Manolas, a very interesting player.

In this regard, we are talking about Wolfsburg's great promise, Konstantinos Koulierakis, a 21-year-old Greek player. This footballer has stood out as one of the most significant and interesting defensive prospects in the Bundesliga. Therefore, now more than ever, this Madrid scout seems to be clear that he should be a signing for Madrid.

The player's age and, above all, his football performance are what have caused the most interest from the white team, in addition to physical and technical conditions that complement the strength he shows in every match.

A Greek Idol in Madrid

This young player seems to have everything necessary to become one of the most interesting candidates for the white defense. This season, with the German team, he has been able to play more than 2,200 minutes in 26 matches with 6 goal contributions.

The numbers of this center-back are simply amazing, even in the offensive department, where he has quite an impact. His physical conditions also complement him quite well with his 6 ft. 2 in. (1.88 m) height. In addition to this, he seems to have outstanding aerial play, which could make him a great proposal in the center.

There are several teams interested in signing this player, as he has caught the attention of other clubs like Liverpool or even Milan. Therefore, Real Madrid would have a remote possibility of signing the player if they decide immediately.

Florentino Must Think About It

The president has the power to incorporate this player, whose market value is around 15 million euros, an affordable amount. A very interesting future project that might bring him much joy if they finally decide to incorporate him into the club.
