Real Madrid continues to scour the market for young talents, and one name that has caught the attention of the sports management is Jorrel Hato. The 19-year-old defender from Ajax, who is already an undisputed starter in the Dutch team, has established himself as one of the great promises of European football thanks to his versatility and tactical maturity. He can play both as a center-back and as a left-back, a versatility that particularly appeals to the coaches of the white club.

Real Madrid's interest in Hato is genuine, although the operation is not expected to be easy. In the Netherlands, there is already talk of a real bidding war for the player, which usually keeps the Merengue team away, as they are not fond of getting into bidding wars that inflate the cost of transfers. According to reports from SkySports, clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are willing to go all out to secure the services of the young defender.

No more economical alternatives are ruled out

In Valdebebas, however, they maintain a very controlled salary and spending policy. They do not want to break their financial structure or alter the roles within the dressing room. Therefore, although there is a strong liking for Hato, other alternatives in defense are not ruled out, especially for the left-back position, where there could be movements with the possible departures of Ferland Mendy or Fran García.

The club also prioritizes signing a creative midfielder who can be the new brain of the squad. The plan is clear: reinforce intelligently, without extravagance, and always with an eye on the future. Hato fits that profile, but only if the right conditions are met for his incorporation.
