Real Madrid will face defeat in pursuit of Stanislav Lobotka, who will soon sign a new deal with Serie A giants Napoli.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Stanislav Lobotka will unlikely join Real Madrid next year. The 28-year-old is on the verge of signing a new contract with Serie A giants Napoli. The former Celta Vigo midfield destroyer was a target for Carlo Ancelotti.
Stanislav Lobotka has become a household name in Europe since joining Napoli from Celta Vigo. The Slovakian international had gone under the radar for much of his career until January 2020. But he has been one of the best midfielders in Serie A in the last three years, with his exploits getting noticed beyond Italy.
The 28-year-old has turned out 86 times for Napoli thus far, chipping in with two goals and one assist. And Lobotka has been instrumental in the Partenopei rising to the top of the Serie A table this season. The player’s performances have not gone unnoticed either, with Real Madrid keeping tabs on him.
Real Madrid will delve into the market for at least one midfield reinforcement in the summer transfer window. But while Jude Bellingham is a top target for Los Blancos, they might have to invest in another player. That is because Dani Ceballos will likely leave Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
In addition, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are approaching the end of their glittering careers. So despite signing Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni in the last two summer windows, Real Madrid will need another midfield reinforcement. And Lobotka has emerged as a viable target for the Spanish giants.
Recent reports had suggested that the Merengues were ready to pay the big bucks to sign the 28-year-old. But the Slovakian midfield destroyer is set to sign a new contract with Serie A giants Napoli. And that will end Real Madrid’s hopes of signing Lobotka in the summer transfer window.
The reigning La Liga champions now need to set their sights on alternatives to the 28-year-old. And it will be interesting to see who emerges on Real Madrid’s radar to bolster the midfield unit in the summer.
