Real Madrid recently contacted Serie A club Atalanta for 20-year-old forward Rasmus Hojlund, whose market value is €35 million.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Rasmus Hojlund is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The reigning La Liga champions have established contact with Atalanta for the 20-year-old forward. Meanwhile, they are also keen on signing Kai Havertz from Chelsea.
Rasmus Hojlund has enjoyed a rise to fame since joining Atalanta from Sturm Graz last summer. The Danish striker had already started the season strongly in Austria before moving to Italy. And he has established himself as one of the best young prospects in Serie A during his short stint with La Dea.
The 20-year-old has managed eight goals and three assists in 28 appearances for Atalanta. Meanwhile, the youngster has also made his mark on the international stage, scoring five goals in four outings. At the same time, his market value has risen to €35 million. And Hojlund’s progress has not gone unnoticed either, with Real Madrid among his prospective suitors.
Real Madrid will look to lay down a succession plan for Karim Benzema in the coming years. The veteran Frenchman is well into his thirties and approaching the end of his glittering career. In addition, fitness issues have plagued Benzema in the ongoing season.
At the same time, Mariano Diaz will likely leave Real Madrid to resurrect his career this summer. So it behoves Los Blancos to scour the market for a young striker who can initially learn the ropes from Benzema before becoming the first-choice striker. Hojlund has thus emerged as a target for Real Madrid.
The report claims that the reigning La Liga champions have already contacted Atalanta for the 20-year-old forward. But it is unclear how much the Serie A club will demand to part ways with the youngster. And according to recent reports, the asking price will likely be higher than his market value of €35 million.
But Hojlund is not the only striker on Real Madrid’s radar. And the Merengues are also keen on signing Kai Havertz from Chelsea. So it will be interesting to see who becomes Real Madrid’s next target as they look to lay down a succession plan for Benzema.
