Real Madrid is interested in a footballer who plays in LaLiga

Real Madrid has focused on young talents in recent years to strengthen itself with the future in mind. That's how players like Endrick, Arda Güler, or Rachad Fettal have arrived, the latter for Castilla. It doesn't seem like they're going to stop, as they may have a new target that's going to be very close.

According to the information we have at Defensa Central, Real Madrid really likes Rodrigo Mendoza. He's a 20-year-old who plays for Elche and already has minutes in the First Division. He was a starter against Betis and could do so again this Saturday against Atlético de Madrid.

This is an experience that the Merengues want to assess to reconsider his possible signing. For now, the reports they have on him are very favorable, and they've been following him for some time. In fact, on a couple of occasions, they've already tested the waters to try to secure his signing.

Now they're going to take advantage of Elche's promotion to the First Division to continue monitoring him. They'll see how he reacts in this first season facing the big teams. They'll assess whether he's a player worth making an effort to sign.

Real Madrid keeps its transfer policy without losing its head

Some time ago, Real Madrid decided to focus on young players and not pay huge sums for others. The examples of Hazard or Jovic led them to decide to change their transfer policy. So they prefer to bet on footballers like Huijsen and Carreras, who have arrived this year.

This formula has worked, with footballers who have increased their value in the white squad. They could reconsider doing the same with Rodrigo Mendoza, as long as it doesn't mean a major outlay. Although it seems that the situation is starting to get complicated for his signing.

In addition to Real Madrid, other teams in Europe have also noticed Mendoza's performance. This has made Elche react immediately to prevent his departure. A few days ago, they reached an agreement to renew his contract until 2028.
