Real Madrid eyeing Charalampos Kostoulas

Now, according to reports in England, as relayed by AS, Real Madrid are one among several top European clubs tracking the development of Olympiacos’ teenage striker Charalampos Kostoulas.

Kostoulas is a two-time Greek U-19 champion with Olympiacos while he was also a part of the team that won the UEFA Youth League last season.

His development and potential have caught the attention of a plethora of top clubs, including Real Madrid.

As per the report, Los Blancos are joined by Premier League giants Manchester United, record Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and Ligue 1 title-holders PSG in tracking the 17-year-old centre-forward.

Kostoulas’ contract with Olympiacos stands to expire in 2026, meaning he will be entering the final year of his current deal in the summer next year.

Whether that prompts any of the interested parties to make a move for the Greek striker remains to be seen. For now, though, Real Madrid and the other heavyweights are closely tracking the youngster’s progress.
