Real Madrid set to go all-out in order to sign Bayern Munich youngster

Real Madrid is prepared to fight with Ajax over the services of Lennart Karl, the young wonder from Bayern Munich. Kerry Hau of Sky Sports Germany claims that Real Madrid is eager to recruit 16-year-old Lennart Karl of Bayern Munich to their roster as another young football player. 

Giants of the Eredivisie, Ajax, have also expressed interest in the offensive midfield player. The legendary German football player Michael Ballack is his agent, and his contract is set to expire in 2026. If the deal goes through, Karl, an aggressive midfielder with a remarkable left foot, might be a mainstay of Real Madrid's midfield for many years to come.

With the exception of Jude Bellingham's €103 million (£88 million/$110 million) signing in 2023, Real Madrid's transfer strategy since the Eden Hazard scandal has primarily focused on acquiring the top young players in the world rather than spending millions on legendary players.

In just 11 games for Bayern Munich's U17 team in the B-Junior Bundesliga, Karl has scored 18 goals and provided nine assists. He has also scored five goals in Germany's three U17 European Championship qualification matches.

After a crushing 4-0 setback to FC Barcelona inside the Santiago Bernabeu this past weekend, Carlo Ancelotti and company will be anxious to get their La Liga defense back on track. On Saturday, November 2, Real Madrid will play Valencia in the Mestalla.

Jesus Fortea called up to Real Madrid first-team

Real Madrid will be without Dani Carvajal for the rest of the season, it was established earlier this month. The 32-year-old is anticipated to be out of work for a minimum of ten months due to a catastrophic knee injury.

Going forward, Lucas Vazquez is expected to be the starting right-back, although Carlo Ancelotti may also use Eder Militao if needed. Additionally, Jesus Fortea is another person who is accessible. In recent weeks, Fortea has been working with the first team. Marca claims that Ancelotti has now made the decision to bring up the 17-year-old out of the U19s, with the intention of keeping him with the senior team for the remainder of the 2024–25 campaign.
