Real Madrid has decided to go for the signing of Myles Lewis-Skelly, the 19-year-old prodigy who shines at Arsenal. The new gem that is on the radar of Florentino Perez and company.

The white club seeks to take advantage of the uncertainty that the young talent is going through under Mikel Arteta's orders in North London. With an extensive contract but decreasing minutes, the profile of the Brit fits perfectly into Florentino Perez's policy of signing young galactic players.

Real Madrid is planning a deep restructuring for the upcoming summer market, aiming to fill the gaps that the confirmed departures in the defensive block will leave. The versatility of the English footballer is the determining factor that has convinced the Madrid scouts after months of exhaustive monitoring.

The reconstruction of the left-back at Real Madrid

The Madrid club is preparing for a radical change in their left flank due to the imminent departure of Ferland Mendy at the end of the season. This absence would be added to that of Fran Garcia, who is looking for a destination where he can enjoy the continuity he has not had this season.

These absences would leave Alvaro Carreras as the only specialist in the position, forcing Real Madrid to seek a top-level competitor with global projection. The versatility of Myles Lewis-Skelly, capable of performing as a full-back and as a midfielder, makes him the ideal reinforcement to balance the team's rotation.

The player's valuation is around 60 million euros, a figure that the Madrid board considers fair given the immense technical quality of the young international. His ability to link up in short spaces and his physical display on the wing have been highlighted in the club's most recent technical reports.

Myles Lewis-Skelly and the desire for a leading role

Currently, the young Arsenal youth has lost prominence at the Emirates Stadium with the emergence of names like Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapié. Despite having played 25 games this year, the lack of starting roles has sparked the player's desire to seek new competitive horizons.

Real Madrid knows that offering him a leading role in a rebuilding project is the winning card to convince him to leave the "Gunners". With just 1207 accumulated minutes and four assists to his name, the Brit feels that his progression has stalled under Arteta's tutelage.

Although Alvaro Arbeloa leads the bench on an interim basis until June, the squad planning continues regardless of who the future coach will be. The institutional priority is to secure the defense with versatile players to ensure the club's success in the next decade of European competitions.

The galactic future on the left flank

Real Madrid will make a formal proposal to Arsenal as soon as the transfer window opens, trusting that the player's desire will facilitate the agreement. The operation would represent another show of strength in the market, snatching one of England's pearls to dress him in white at Chamartin.

The commitment to young talent remains the cornerstone of a project that does not stop despite the economic difficulties of other top clubs. With Myles Lewis-Skelly, the white club would not only sign a defender but an elite midfielder capable of dominating world football.
