It is not surprising that players ofReal MadridCastilla find themselves recipients to lucrative offers from across the globe. The youngsters ofReal Madridput up strong performances week after week last season and made their way to the doorstep of promotion to the Segunda division.
In the єɴԀ, their hopes crashed in the final step. Nevertheless, their performances did not go unnoticed and most players of the team are now on their way to the next big step in their careers.
One such young talent is Sergio Arribas. TheReal MadridCastilla star was one of the highest-rated players of his crop, butLos Blancosare forced to sell him considering the ruthless competition in midfield.
According to ɾєρօɾτs from journalistRodra, Bayer Leverkusen are now entering the race to sign Arribas. Their manager andReal MadridlegєɴԀ Xabi Alonso is a big fan of the youngster’s capabilities and sees him as a natural fit for the German setup.
Contacts between the Bundesliga side and Arribas’ entourage have already begun, and the coming week will be critical on that front. After all, the 21-year-old has multiple proposals on his table.
Girona,Real Betis and Sevillaare some of the teams from La Liga said to be interested in acquiring his services. However, the biggest hurdle on the negotiations front is Real Madrid’s stance on the player. TheMerenguesdemand €10 million for just 50% of Arribas’ rights.
Considering that Alonso is one of the best-placed candidates to take over at Santiago Bernabeu next season, a move to Bayer Leverkusen could be an interesting formula for the Castilla star to leave a lasting impression on the upcomingReal Madridcoach. In theory, it could engineer a return to the club of his dreams in the years to come.
