‘War’ breaks out for signing of Real Madrid talent with 5 La Liga clubs keen | OneFootball

No fewer than five La Liga clubs are expressing a keen interest in the signing of a member of the attacking ranks at Real Madrid.

That’s according to Diario AS, who highlight Juanmi Latasa as the player in question.

Frontman Latasa, for his part, is fresh off a 2nd successive loan spell away from the club.

After linking up with Getafe for the 2022/23 campaign, the Spaniard rejoined the Azulones for another 12 months last summer.

And he went on to play an altogether more prominent role at the Estadio Coliseum, notching 32 La Liga appearances, and a pair of goals.

The Getafe brass, when all was said and done, opted against making Latasa’s signing a permanent one, with the 23-year-old having since linked back up with Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid squad at Valdebebas as a result.

If the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, however, then his stay back in Spain’s capital will not last long.

As per a report from Diario AS, a ‘war’ has broken out over Latasa’s services.

This comes with all of Sevilla, Real Betis, Rayo Vallecano, Espanyol and Real Valladolid having positioned themselves in the hunt for a player ‘who will leave’ the Santiago Bernabéu this summer.

As things stand, though, it is the latter who are seen as favourites to strike a deal, owing in large part to ‘the good relations between the Real Madrid board and Ronaldo Nazário’.
