Real Madrid is following the Qatar World Cup 2022 with particular interest, as it features some players who could be very interesting to strengthen Carlo Ancelotti’s squad
Famous Real Madrid scout Johnny Calafat has his eye on Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez, two players who could sign for Real Madrid next summer
And according to Fabrizio Romano on the Here We Go Podcast, Real Madrid have entered into advanced discussions” with Palmeiras about signing 16-year-old wonder player Andric Philipp
The young striker has emerged as one of the most in-demand young players in football today even though he can only leave Brazil in 2024 after he turns 18
The likes of Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have all been credited with serious interest in Andrek. But it seems that Real Madrid is making great efforts to get the striker over the deal as soon as possible
Indeed, according to Romano’s report, Real Madrid are pressing hard to finalize the transfer and are in advanced discussions with Palmeiras over a possible switch
At the same time, the Spanish and European champions are negotiating with the striker and his camp so that they can obtain his services before the competition war breaks out against the player
Palmeiras, for their part, made it clear that any club would have to shell out the €60m release clause in Andrek’s contract in order to sign him. This can be achieved by including some extras in the deal, Romano claims.
Recent reports said that Andrek’s camp would have problems with Real Madrid if the club wanted to sign Erling Haaland from Manchester City in two years’ time because they don’t see the two as compatible
However, with Los Blancos expressing doubts about signing the Norwegian star due to his salary and past injury record, the path appears clear for Andrek to move to the Santiago Bernabeu, unless Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain make a late twist in the tale
