Real Madrid seek advice from club legend before moving for teenage sensation | OneFootball

Real Madrid oversee a process of extensive filtration before they narrow down targets for transfer windows and this involves deep scrutiny on multiple levels.

While the process begins with elaborate scouting of young talents, they follow the progress, growth, and judge the player’s adaptability to the team’s dynamics before listing them as targets.

In the end, it is only a small fraction of players who arouse interest in the Real Madrid offices who eventually end up joining the club.

As relayed by Defensa Central, Los Blancos have identified a young German talent they like but are currently in the scrutiny stage.

An expert opinion

The player in question is none other than Hertha BSC’s top-midfield prospect Kennet Eichhorn, who has already caught the eye of several top European clubs in recent months.

Real Madrid are one of the clubs to have taken notice of his talent, and they wish for an expert opinion before proceeding with the operation. The name chosen to provide such an opinion is none other than club legend Toni Kroos.

Given that the player knows the Real Madrid way, especially in midfield, he is the best candidate to ratify the young talent as a good fit.

Moreover, the shared German roots mean that the former player will have a better idea of Eichhorn’s talent.

At just 16 years of age, the midfielder is already playing in the second division of German football and has got the likes of Bayern Munich, PSG, and Manchester City interested alongside Real Madrid.

Only recently, he became the second youngest professional German footballer ever. He plays primarily as a pivot player but is also capable of operating in any other midfield role as per the team’s need.
