Real Madrid have entered the chase for Barcelona and Liverpool target Alberto Moleiro, who has a release clause of €30 million.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid are showing an interest in Alberto Moleiro ahead of the January transfer window. The Las Palmas attacking midfielder is also a target for Barcelona and Liverpool, with a release clause of €30 million. The valuation could rise to €60 million if the club achieves promotion.
Alberto Moleiro’s name gets repeatedly mentioned in English and Spanish media, with high-profile clubs targeting the young attacking midfielder. The Spanish prodigy is one of the top players in the Segunda Division, and a transfer seems probable in January.
The Las Palmas attacker is key to the club’s chances this season and could help them in the quest for promotion. Moleiro could be the subject of tremendous interest from big clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Liverpool. His €30 million release clause further makes him an appealing target.
Spanish giants are exploring the possibility of making a move. And Real Madrid are the latest entrant in the chase, joining Barcelona in the hunt for the attacking midfielder. The Merengues are in a good position to attract young players and get them on board to develop within the club’s ranks.
Moleiro is reportedly keen to explore such a big opportunity if an approach arrives in January. The stumbling block is the €30 million release clause in the prodigy’s contract. Real Madrid will be in a good position to pay up the fee, although they would have liked to negotiate the price down.
During the summer transfer window, Barcelona were hot on Moleiro’s heels. But Las Palmas stalled negotiations with the Blaugrana. The decision arrived after it became clear the Catalan giants were unwilling to pay their demands of €10 million plus €15 million in variables. But Barcelona could be on the hunt in January again, although the transfer fee could prove problematic.
Additionally, both Real Madrid and Barcelona in addition Liverpool may have to accelerate their pursuit of Moleiro. Jurgen Klopp is reportedly keen after receiving extensive data-related reviews about the player from his team.
As mentioned earlier, the three top clubs will have to rush through a transfer in January or risk seeing Moleiro’s price increase in the summer. If Las Palmas achieve promotion to La Liga, the player’s release clause will double to €60 million. Thus, it makes all the more difficult for teams like Barcelona and Liverpool to make a move.
Whether Las Palmas are open to dealing in January remains the question. They are in a strong position to achieve promotion. They might risk keeping Moleiro until the summer, hoping to receive more than his current release clause.
