Nathaniel Brown has become one of the names being handled by Real Madrid looking ahead to the upcoming transfer windows. Although no significant movements are expected in the winter market, scenarios for the future are already being planned at Valdebebas.

The white club is discreetly working on several medium-term operations. Some have not gained much attention, but others are beginning to emerge on the media radar due to their strategic importance within the squad.

Information released by journalist Ekrem Konur places Nathaniel Brown in a real battle among European giants. Milan, Barcelona, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are closely monitoring the Eintracht Frankfurt full-back, who has already garnered consensus.

The German club has set his price tag at around 65 million euros. However, there is a possibility of a lower agreement if there is mutual understanding between the parties.

Nathaniel Brown, an option subject to exits

There is no immediate rush at Real Madrid to reinforce the left-back position. The current planning includes three players under contract for that role in the upcoming seasons. Fran García is contracted until 2027 and continues to be a valid piece for the coaching staff. The club values his performance, although it recognizes his secondary role.

Ferland Mendy's situation is different. Injuries have marked his recent period, and doubts exist within the club about his real continuity in a demanding project like Real Madrid's. Therefore, the option of Nathaniel Brown would only be activated if one or even both of the current full-backs request to leave in the summer. The scenario is not ruled out.

Real Madrid's internal context

There is full confidence within the club in Álvaro Carreras, considered the present and future starter. The sports management believes that his progression aligns with the playing style. Fran García, on the other hand, will have to accept a less prominent role if he stays. The challenge will be to embrace that situation without causing internal tensions.

With Mendy, the approach is different. The coaching staff, led by Xabi Alonso, will try to utilize his defensive profile in specific matches throughout the season. The aim is to give him playing time, competitive rhythm, and visibility. The goal is to facilitate a summer exit, even if for a reduced fee.

A profile that fits the new roadmap

Nathaniel Brown fits the mold that Real Madrid is seeking. Youth, physical power, offensive capabilities, and room for growth in a competitive league like the Bundesliga. The club values his ability to attack the flank, his defensive reliability, and his adaptation to demanding systems. This is not a hasty decision but one of strategic planning.

If exits occur at the left-back position, Real Madrid is willing to invest around 55 million euros in Nathaniel Brown. This amount is manageable within their strategy.

The merengue team has been observing Nathaniel Brown for months as an alternative to Álvaro Carreras at left-back since neither Ferland Mendy nor Fran García have reached the expected level.
