Kees Smit has become one of the key names in the European market and a top target for Real Madrid. The young midfielder from AZ Alkmaar has truly blossomed in the Netherlands, and his potential has not gone unnoticed.

For months, Santiago Bernabéu had been monitoring him. His youth, technical quality, and personality aligned with the transfer policy of the white club. However, Liverpool has decided to make a move before anyone else. Reports from England suggest that contacts have already been initiated with the player's entourage to secure his arrival next summer.

Kees Smit on the radar of Real Madrid and Liverpool

The performance of Kees Smit this season has been outstanding. At AZ Alkmaar, he has established himself as an undisputed starter, displaying maturity beyond his years. His ability to orchestrate play, break lines, and get into the box has put him in the sights of several European giants. Real Madrid saw him as a strategic move to reinforce the midfield.

In Valdebebas, they believe his profile fits the team's generational transition. However, no formal move has been made yet. Conversely, the urgency is evident at Anfield. Liverpool aims to preempt to prevent a repeat of past situations where they were outmaneuvered by the white club.

The past mistake of Real Madrid with Kees Smit

According to DefensaCentral, Real Madrid missed an opportunity to sign Kees Smit last summer. AZ Alkmaar was open to a deal that included a loan. The condition was clear: immediate transfer with one more year in the Netherlands to continue his development. The Bernabéu opted to wait.

That decision had consequences. The player's market value skyrocketed, intensifying the competition. In addition to Real Madrid and Liverpool, clubs like PSG, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich are closely monitoring him. The scenario has become significantly more complex.

Liverpool doesn't want to repeat mistakes

There is a certain level of mistrust at Liverpool when Real Madrid comes into play. Recent experiences have left scars at Anfield. Both Tchouaméni and Bellingham were on the Reds' radar but ended up in white shirts. Merseyside doesn't want history to repeat itself with Kees Smit.

Therefore, they have accelerated their contacts. The goal is clear: reach an agreement as soon as possible to prevent the player from leaning towards the Madrid project. The allure of the Premier League and the financial capacity of Liverpool could work in their favor. Moreover, the English club has shown ambition in recent transfer windows.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, remains calm. They trust their seductive power and the sporting prospects they offer to young talents. The final decision will depend on the project that convinces the player the most. At AZ Alkmaar, they know that retaining him will be challenging if an exceptional offer arrives.

The upcoming transfer window promises to be decisive. The rivalry between two European giants could shape the future of one of the most promising midfielders on the continent. Currently, Liverpool seems to have an edge in the race. However, when Real Madrid is involved in a strategic signing, they rarely give up.

The name of Kees Smit will continue to dominate headlines in the coming months. His talent has sparked a silent battle between Anfield and the Bernabéu.
