Real Madrid Confidencial Real Madrid on the Lookout for the Premier League's Big Star, a Dark Horse Within Reach
Real Madrid are following the development of the Premier League's great star: Milos Kerkez, the Hungarian left-back
Real Madrid are still looking for reinforcements for the left-back position. The operation for Alphonso Davies, a priority target, is becoming more and more complicated, and the club has begun to explore alternatives.
One of the names that has gained traction is Milos Kerkez , a young talent from Bournemouth, who is standing out in his first season in the Premier League.
At 21, Kerkez has already made his mark in the English top flight. With one goal and two assists in 13 games , the Hungarian has shown his attacking and defensive quality. His performances have sparked interest from several clubs, including Manchester United , making him an attractive option for Real Madrid.
Problems on the Left Side of Madrid
The interest in Kerkez is also a reply to Madrid's problems at left-back this season. Fran García , bought back in the summer of 2023 to reinforce that position, hasn't convinced Carlo Ancelotti. Although the youth-team player has had some good moments, his defensive inconsistency is worrying.
Ferland Mendy, for his part, has shown a lower performance than in previous seasons . The Frenchman, who was key in the past, has had physical problems and a drop in level that have affected his continuity.
Miguel Gutiérrez's buyback option
Another possibility for Real Madrid would be to exercise the buyback option for Miguel Gutiérrez , now at Girona. The young full-back is shining in LaLiga EA Sports and his return could strengthen the squad without the need for large outlays, 8 million euros. However, the club seems determined to explore international options such as Kerkez.
Milos Kerkez is not only outstanding for his current form, but also for his future . He has been capped 21 times by Hungary. The young full-back has experience at international level and in competitive leagues such as the Eredivisie and the Premier League .
Bournemouth paid just over 15 million euros to AZ Alkmaar for his transfer in the summer. Now, his contract until 2028 and his rapid increase in value make it a complex operation, but not impossible for Real Madrid.
If Davies' transfer doesn't come to fruition, Kerkez could be the club's new project to revitalize a position that needs urgent solutions.
