Real Madrid see 20-year-old Bundesliga sensation as heir to Toni Kroos | OneFootball

Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder, Hugo Larsson, as reports from Real Madrid Confidencial suggest that the Swede has become one of the club’s main targets as they look to reinforce their midfield.

Midfield has always been a crucial part of Real Madrid’s strategy, and with the retirement of Toni Kroos, finding a new leader in this position has become a priority.

While Dani Ceballos has stepped up with impressive performances this season, the club is still searching for long-term solutions.

In their quest for the ideal candidate, they have turned their attention to Larsson, who has been making waves in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Why Hugo Larsson?

At just 20 years old, Larsson has already shown exceptional ability and composure on the ball. His performances in Germany suggest he is more than ready to take the next step in his career.

With his technical skills, vision, and physical presence, he could be an excellent addition to Real Madrid’s midfield, potentially forming a strong partnership with Ceballos.

Frankfurt are well aware of the growing interest in their prized asset and have reportedly set a price tag of at least €60 million.

There is competition

The German club knows that holding onto him until the end of his contract in 2029 will be a challenge, especially with top European clubs monitoring his progress.

Apart from Real Madrid, several Premier League sides are also keen on securing his services, making the competition even tougher.

With the financial strength of English clubs, Madrid could face a real battle in the transfer market. However, they remain confident in their ability to convince Larsson to join their project.

Wearing the iconic white shirt of Real Madrid is a dream for many players, and the club will hope that their history, ambition, and playing style will be enough to sway the young Swedish talent in their favour.
