Real Madrid Confidencial The only Barça player Figo would sign for Real Madrid: it's not Lamine
The former footballer has surprised everyone by naming a Barça player for Madrid
In Barcelona, they have spent the last few months trying to impose Lamine Yamal as a global star. They believe that no one surpasses him and even look at the Ballon d'Or, refusing to allow any discussion. All of this comes from an analysis blinded by the fanaticism that keeps them from seeing reality.
Perhaps that's why they were so surprised that Figo wouldn't sign Lamine Yamal for Real Madrid. The Portuguese knows both teams well, and he doesn't think the Spaniard would fit in at Los Blancos. In some recent statements, he preferred to focus on another Barça player.
"If I could sign someone from Barça for Real Madrid, it would be Pedri," Luis Figo has stated. The Canary Islander believes that he's the one who could fit best in the Merengue squad right now. He has also spoken about him in the same terms as another Madridist, Fede Valverde.
Figo believes that they are "reliable and important players in their teams," which is why Pedri is his choice. Even though he could fit under Xabi Alonso's orders, it's a signing that seems impossible. However, the Portuguese's signing also seemed impossible, and Florentino surprised everyone in 2000.
Real Madrid keeps looking for a creative midfielder in the market
It's true that Xabi Alonso arrived at Real Madrid asking for the signing of a creative midfielder. Although Pedri could have fit his demand, it's not a name they considered. Among other things, they're aware that Barça won't want to sell him to its eternal rival.
Many names have been mentioned as candidates, but it seems that one stands out above the rest. It's Adam Wharton, a footballer from Crystal Palace who has performed at a high level. In fact, there was a lot of speculation about his possible signing this very summer.
They're going to follow him very closely this season, after the reports Calafat has on him. In addition, Jude Bellingham would also have recommended his signing due to his qualities. He's the first name they've written down to satisfy Xabi's request.
