The midfielder Madrid wants to sign now, they want him to join this month

The operation Real Madrid has in hand to secure the services of a young reinforcement

One of the transfers Real Madrid has pending for the summer market is in the midfield. After ruling out Florian Wirtz, scouts are now looking for the player who can succeed Toni Kroos with the same guarantees.

It's not an easy task, but the reports Florentino Pérez has speak for themselves. There's a player who seems ready for this challenge and is also in Spain. If they want to sign him, it could be an operation as quick as it is simple in every way.

Another Young Promise

Long before the start of the winter market, Real Madrid was clear that it wouldn't seek to make any transfers. However, the recent defeat against Barcelona has led to a change of plans in the white club. This has led the team to set its sights on a young midfielder who is shining in the Second Division.

Rodrigo Mendoza, a player from Elche, has caught Real Madrid's attention for this market. The young midfielder has made progress that has allowed him to continue developing his outstanding talent. Given the need for reinforcements that the merengue team has, Mendoza's arrival would be a great operation to strengthen the midfield.

While Real Madrid has shown its interest, it hasn't been the only team interested in carrying out his transfer. Despite having started conversations with Elche, Mendoza's transfer will take time to be finalized.

The Winter Jewel

Trained in Elche's youth academy since 2021, Mendoza quickly stood out as a great talent. Playing matches with the first team since 2023, the midfielder has gained more and more prominence. This has been demonstrated with the 640 minutes of play he has managed to achieve this season with the team.

Despite being 19 years old, the player has shown remarkable maturity that has put him on Real Madrid's radar. While Elche isn't looking to let go of its jewel, his contract until the next summer has presented itself as a great opportunity for the merengue team.

In light of this, the club is seeking the arrival of the young midfielder for this same winter market. With the operation potentially being carried out for an affordable value, Real Madrid is determined to complete this transfer. Clearly, just before the end of the winter period.

Real Madrid's Intentions

The need the merengue team has to continue strengthening its team has opened the door for Mendoza's possible arrival. Even with the complications this operation might present, Real Madrid is confident in being able to bring this operation to a successful conclusion.
