Real Madrid is interested in Lucas Beribal (19), a prospect who recently renewed his long-term contract with Tottenham Hotspur.
British media 'Football 365' reported on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time) that "Real is seeking to recruit Beribal, a 'tint of Tottenham'."
Born in 2006, Veribal is playing as a central midfielder and is recognized as a versatile resource with basic skills, physical skills and a good sense of play. He can display reckless play and digest diverse positions.
In 2024, he joined Tottenham for 8.1 million euros (13.1 billion won), the highest transfer fee ever for the club from the Swedish club Jurgordens IF. Although it is his first season as a member of the club, he has scored one goal and four assists in official matches, and he has displayed impressive performance, especially by posting three assists in the Europa League alone.
Veribal extended his contract with Tottenham until 2031 on the 30th of last month in recognition of his performance. This is interpreted as a reward for his ability and at the same time a measure to block other big clubs' access to him.
Real, however, have not given up on signing Beribal at all despite Tottenham's renewal.
The media said, "Real plans to continue to keep a close eye on Beribal regardless of his contract extension. "We will present an exit strategy to escape Tottenham in the future," he said. "The club classifies him as one of the 'best talents of the next generation' and is clearly aiming for future recruitment."
Of course, it is true that Real has put the reinforcement of the midfield as a top priority after Tony Cross' retirement, but it was a bit of a puzzle that he is so obsessed with recruiting Beribal, who has not shown much yet.
However, it was clear why Real Madrid was so nervous about signing Veribal. It was because of the existence of Luca Modric (39), a legend of the club who was acquired from Tottenham in the past.
The media pointed out, "This situation is similar to when Luka Modric moved from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2012."
"Modric left Dinamo Zagreb at the age of 22, a little more than Veribal, and joined Tottenham, and four years later Real took him for about 30 million pounds (about 55.8 billion won)," he said, stressing that Real is expecting a "second Modric" through Veribal.
Modric, who left Tottenham to join Real in 2012, has since played a great role in Real, where numerous stars have passed through.
In 13 seasons, he played in 586 games, scoring 43 goals and 93 assists, during which Real enjoyed four La Liga, six UEFA Champions League and five SuperCopa victories.
Although Beribal has not shown as much influence as Modric in Tottenham's time so far, it is worth seeking to recruit him from Real, who has good memories of Modric's recruitment.
However, as Tottenham recently renewed its long-term contract with Veribal until 2031, Real's recruitment is not expected to be easy. 바카라사이트
Football 365 said, "Since Veribal recently signed a new contract, the transfer is unlikely to take place immediately. However, the amount Real will have to pay to buy him is expected to be much higher than when Modric signed him."
