Real Madrid and FC Barcelona had been closely following Kees Smit, one of the greatest prospects of AZ Alkmaar, for months. However, the operation has now become complicated with the emergence of Liverpool, who also wants to secure his signing as soon as possible.

Real Madrid sees Kees Smit as an ideal profile to reinforce the midfield of the future, while at FC Barcelona, they view him as a player with similar qualities to Pedri, which further increases their interest.

Liverpool Steps In and Puts Pressure on Real Madrid and FC Barcelona

The Liverpool has sent scouts on several occasions to watch Kees Smit and, according to English media, they were impressed by his maturity despite being only 19 years old. His rise to the starting eleven of AZ Alkmaar and his constant growth have made him a priority for the Premier League champions.

The English club is looking for talented young players with competitive spirit to strengthen their project, and that's why they are willing to compete head-to-head with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona for the Dutch footballer.

Kees Smit's Evolution at AZ Alkmaar

The midfielder came into the international spotlight after shining in the UEFA Youth League 2023, delivering great performances. Since then, Kees Smit has been climbing the ranks within AZ Alkmaar and also in the youth categories of the Netherlands.

His peak came last summer when he won the U19 European Championship, being named the tournament's Best Player and claiming the Golden Boot. This performance accelerated the interest of clubs like Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Liverpool, as reported by Flashscore.

A Signing that Could Break Records in the Netherlands

The AZ Alkmaar knows they have one of the most sought-after young talents on the continent and, hence, will demand a figure close to 25 million euros to let him go. This amount would surpass the sale of Tijjani Reijnders to Milan in 2023, which brought in 23 million to the club.

For clubs like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, the investment is feasible if they believe Kees Smit can become an important player in the medium term. However, the presence of Liverpool raises the stakes and forces everyone to make decisions faster.

In 19 games this season, the midfielder has scored two goals and provided four assists, in addition to making his debut with the Netherlands U21 team, confirming his steady progression.

At Real Madrid's headquarters, they value his physical abilities, his vision of the game, and his maturity in organizing the team. On the other hand, FC Barcelona highlights his ease in playing between the lines and his creativity, key attributes for their style.

From England, Liverpool sees him as an adaptable and modern player, capable of competing in the demanding Premier League from a young age.

The upcoming weeks will be decisive, as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, and Liverpool will closely monitor the progress of Kees Smit, whose future could become one of the most important signings in the upcoming transfer market.
