Real Madrid is already planning to strengthen its defense ahead of the next season and has a clear target: Jorrel Hato, the young talent from Ajax, as reported by Relevo. The white offices see the Dutch defender as the perfect replacement for David Alaba, who is going through a complicated time at the club.
Hato, at just 19 years old, has earned a place in Ajax's first team due to his security in defense and his ability to play in various positions. This versatility is precisely what Madrid is looking for, a young player with potential who can adapt to the demands of Spanish football.
Real Madrid considers selling Alaba.
The decision to go for a center-back is not a coincidence. The club is already considering the departure of Alaba, whose performance in recent months has not met expectations. Additionally, the Austrian is one of the highest-paid players in the squad, with a salary of €22.56 million per season. This figure weighs on the balance and leads the board to seriously consider letting him go to free up salary space.
The interest in Hato aligns with Madrid's strategy of betting on young talents. Furthermore, his playing style, secure on the ball and with a good build-up from the back, reminiscent of the best versions of Alaba, further fuels the comparison and desire to make him his heir.
There is no official offer yet, but moves are already being made in Valdebebas to get ahead of other top European clubs who are also closely monitoring the Ajax defender. Hato's name is gaining strength among Madridistas, and everything indicates that he will be one of the protagonists in the upcoming transfer market.
