Real Madrid closely tracking the progress of ‘next Casemiro’ – report | OneFootball

Real Madrid are eyeing 19-year-old midfielder Dario Essugo as one of the key targets for the upcoming transfer window, according to Real Madrid Confidencial.

Currently on loan at Las Palmas from Sporting Lisbon, Essugo has impressed in La Liga, making a name for himself as one of the standout young talents this season.

The club has long been interested in nurturing young talent, and Essugo fits perfectly into their plan to rejuvenate the squad.

His skills with the ball and youthful potential make him an exciting prospect. Juni Calafat, who has closely monitored Essugo’s development for some time, is convinced that the player could be a great addition to Real Madrid’s midfield in the near future.

The next Casemiro

With Casemiro’s departure, Real Madrid are looking for a player who can fill the void left by the Brazilian.

Essugo, with his similar attributes to Casemiro, has emerged as a strong candidate to become the new midfield anchor. His physicality, vision, and defensive abilities make him a potential key figure in the heart of Real Madrid’s midfield.

Essugo’s development at Sporting Lisbon, followed by his loan spell at Las Palmas, has allowed him to gain valuable experience.

So far, he has played 956 minutes for Las Palmas, showcasing his growing importance within the team. The Portuguese midfielder has adapted quickly to the demands of La Liga, and his performances have not gone unnoticed by the Real Madrid scouts.

An easy operation

Currently valued at €3.5 million, Essugo’s transfer would be a financially viable option for Real Madrid. His low price tag, combined with his potential and the fact that he is already proving himself in Spain, makes him an attractive option.

Real Madrid are keen to continue tracking his progress throughout the rest of the season before making a final decision on his transfer.

While Essugo’s talent is clear, Real Madrid want to ensure he can continue to develop at the highest level.

For this reason, it will be essential for the young midfielder to keep improving his performance in the months ahead to convince the club to proceed with the transfer.

With everything in place for a potential deal, Real Madrid are hopeful that Essugo can become an important player in the future.
