Rumoured Real Madrid transfer target spotted wearing Blancos jersey | OneFootball

A head-turning photo of a reported member of the transfer wishlist at La Liga giants Real Madrid has this weekend come to the fore online.

The player in question? Kees Smit.

Smit, for those not familiar with his name, is a 19-year-old midfielder, who is currently plying his club trade in his home country of the Netherlands, with AZ Alkmaar.

The starlet is fresh off something of a breakout season in 2024/25, which saw him rack up 25 appearances across all competitions in Alkmaar’s colours.

And his performances across these outings, it is understood, proved enough to pique the attentions of one of the game’s very biggest clubs.

As revealed by Marca, en route to the Netherlands clinching glory at the U19 European Championships, Real Madrid were keeping a close eye on Smit, with a view to a potential future move for his signature.

All of a Blancos persuasion, in turn, will no doubt be interested to learn of a head-turning photo of the youngster on Saturday surfacing on social media.

As showcased below, whilst out with friends, Smit made clear his admiration for Real Madrid, by donning the colours of the capital heavyweights:
