The defeat in the Spanish Supercopa against Barça leaves several open fronts at Real Madrid. One of them is the reinforcement that the white team needs to make in the central defense due to Tchouaméni's low level. Carlo Ancelotti is not opting for Raúl Asencio, so the club is already considering other options.

One of the names that continues to attract attention at Real Madrid is Jorrel Hato. The 18-year-old defender from Ajax is one of the most sought-after young players in Europe. His versatility, similar to Nacho Fernández, has attracted the interest of top-tier clubs like Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

How much would Jorrel Hato cost?

According to Ekrem KONUR and CaughtOffside, Chelsea is the club leading the race to sign Jorrel Hato. The London club is willing to offer between 45 and 50 million euros to secure his transfer. On the other hand, Real Madrid and Arsenal are also tracking a very attractive player in Europe.

On the other hand, Alex Kroes, the Ajax coach, has stated that it would be difficult to reject an offer of such magnitude. His intention is to keep the Dutch player on the team for as long as possible. However, there's little they can do if a club like Real Madrid or Chelsea comes with the corresponding money.

Real Madrid's interest in Jorrel Hato continues

The player's name appeared during the summer months after the departure of Nacho Fernández. Juni Calafat, Real Madrid's scout, has been following the defender for several months. However, the interest of the Madrid club is in the background after Chelsea's latest offer for the Dutch player.

Real Madrid continues to seek to strengthen the defense with a name for the future. Options like Vitor Reis or Castello Lukeba emerged, but Jorrel Hato continues to gain more ground ahead of the rest of the profiles. We'll have to keep an eye on the movements of the merengue club regarding the possible arrival of the Ajax player at the Bernabéu.
