WithReal Madridlooking to quickly find a solution to their goalkeeping problem following Thibaut Courtois’ ACL ιɴjυɾу, Sevilla’s Yassine Bounou could very well be the answer.
Indeed, the 32-year-old shot-stopper, commonly known as Bono, has emerged as thecoaching staff’s favourite to join the Merengues.
Now,Santi Aouna of Foot Mercatois ɾєρօɾτing thatReal Madridhave already held talks with Bono’s agent over a possible transfer.
Indeed, the club’s chief scout and main man when it comes to transfers, Juni Calafat, is understood to have already spoken to the Moroccan international’s representative about a switch from Sevilla.
Los Blancosare said to really like Bono and given that the season kicks off in a couple of days, they wish to wrap up the transfer soon.
Real Madrid prefer a loan Ԁєɑł
As far as Sevilla are concerned, talks have been held between them andReal Madridas well.
Los Nervionensesare open to the sale of the 32-year-old ace for a fee of close to €20 million, including add-ons.
However,Jose Felix Diaz of MARCAis ɾєρօɾτing thatReal Madridwould not be prepared to make a €20 million outlay on Bono at this point.
Instead, the Spanish capital giants would prefer to sign the 32-year-old veteran on a season-long loan Ԁєɑł, something that might not appeal to Sevilla, who are in need of generating revenue to improve their economic situation.
Talks between the two clubs are at this juncture at this point, with there being no agreement over the type of operation.
But withthe player keen on the moveand Carlo Ancelotti & co. also preferring him over other options, there could be a breakthɾօυɢҺ in negotiations in the coming days.
