💣 Who's worth 150 million? Hunting Florentino's next galáctico 🤑 | OneFootball

Florentino Pérez has shaken up the football market once again after his surprising appearance on Iker Jiménez’s program 'Horizonte'.

The Real Madrid president openly admitted his intention to make the biggest offer in the club’s history for a single player, somewhere around 150 million euros.

After ruling out names such as Olise, Harry Kane, Doku or Erling Haaland, the debate over the identity of this mysterious galáctico is already on the sporting department’s table.

According to Florentino Pérez, "he’s a player from midfield upwards." With that, the list narrows down to a handful of possibilities. Who could they be? Here are several options

Joao Neves, the option for both present and future

One of the names that fits this equation is João Neves, the current midfield compass of Paris Saint-Germain. The young Portuguese midfielder has become an undisputed key figure in the Parisian setup thanks to his maturity and physical presence. Although negotiating with the Parc des Princes is always complicated, the current institutional relationship between Real Madrid and PSG could make a historic move easier if Los Blancos put that fortune on the table.

Vitinha, immediate reliability

His teammate Vitinha is in a very similar situation. The Portuguese international is not only the engine of PSG, but he also established himself as the best player in the most recent Champions League final. His dynamism and ability to get forward are highly valued in the offices of Concha Espina. As with Neves, the current good relationship with the French board opens a door that once seemed firmly locked.

Jamal Musiala, always an interesting piece

This is where football fiction begins. In theory, the attacking midfielder is not for sale, does not want to leave, and has a watertight contract with Bayern Munich until 2030, with the club having neither the need nor the desire to sell. However, the German has a 175-million-euro release clause. A formal offer of 150 million would come very close to that figure, forcing Bayern’s board to think carefully about a deal involving their star player.

Julián Álvarez, the spicy option

If it’s drama they’re after, Julián Álvarez appears as an option that would cause plenty of talk at the very least. Although he has recently been strongly linked with Barcelona, an offer of this magnitude could make Atlético de Madrid reconsider their stance. Even if seeing the Argentine forward switch sides in the capital does not seem the most likely scenario, it would instantly become the biggest soap opera of the summer.

Lamine Yamal, a utopia... but what if?

Alright, this is almost venturing into utopian territory. Taking Lamine away from Barça would be an impossible mission, and Barcelona would never be willing to sell their great La Masia star. However, in football nothing is written in stone, and there are two words that can change everything: Luis Figo. A 150-million move for the blaugrana gem could revive the case that brought the football world to a standstill in the year 2000.
