Real Madrid Confidencial Neither Kubo nor Zubimendi: The Real Player Who Most Surprised Florentino
The President noticed a footballer from Real Sociedad who played a great match and surprised Madridists
Real Madrid secured their place in the Copa del Rey final after a frenetic match that was decided in extra time. Rüdiger, with a header in the 115th minute, ensured the Whites' qualification.
During the match, Florentino Pérez had the opportunity to analyze several key pieces of Real Sociedad. Although the focus was on players like Take Kubo or Zubimendi, the one who truly caught the attention of the Merengue president was another footballer.
The Great Surprise
As reported by Defensa Central, Florentino Pérez was impressed with Ander Barrenetxea's performance. The left winger, at just 23 years old, was one of the standout figures of the match.
Barrenetxea not only showed enviable physical prowess but also scored a goal that put Ancelotti's team in trouble. From the Bernabéu's box, the top White executive couldn't hide his amazement: "He's very good", he commented to his companions.
A Brilliant Season
The footballer is competing to become indispensable and is achieving it with flying colors. In the current season, he has played 40 matches, in which he has scored 8 goals and provided 6 assists in 1,827 minutes.
Despite the competition in his position, Barrenetxea has managed to secure a spot in Imanol Alguacil's starting eleven. His speed, dribbling, and finishing ability have made him one of Real Sociedad's biggest offensive threats.
The young winger is a product of Real Sociedad's youth academy. His progression in the first team has been remarkable and he already has 193 official matches. In that time, he has accumulated 24 goals and 12 assists, establishing himself as an essential piece for his team.
A Future at Real Madrid?
For now, there are no indications that Real Madrid will launch an offensive for Barrenetxea. However, Florentino's interest could translate into closer monitoring by the White scouts.
With his talent and youth, the winger could be a name to watch for future transfer windows. Meanwhile, he continues to shine at Real Sociedad and proving that his progression knows no limits.
