Real Madrid eye move for Arsenal prodigy whose contract expires in 2026 – Romano | OneFootball

Earlier in the day, it was reported that Real Madrid are keeping tabs on three players across Europe as they look to eye move Bosman deals in the near future.

One of them was Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly, a left-back who made his breakthrough for the Gunners this past season.

Lewis-Skelly was involved in 23 Premier League matches, almost becoming a first-team regular under Mikel Arteta during the backend of the campaign.

Lewis-Skelly’s breakthrough has led to intense speculation over his future, especially with his contract expiring in the summer of 2026.

Real Madrid are interested in Lewis-Skelly

Just hours after the report, Fabrizio Romano has now chimed in on the matter, confirming Real Madrid’s interest in Lewis-Skelly.

It appears Los Blancos are aware of the youngster’s contract situation at Arsenal and could be potentially eyeing a future Bosman move for the player.

Real Madrid, after all, have shifted their transfer policy greatly in recent years, focusing more on players with expiring contracts.

This was indicative in Real Madrid’s deals to sign David Alaba, Kylian Mbappe and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Real Madrid could be planning to pull a same move on Lewis-Skelly, although Romano adds that Arsenal are not too keen on releasing the player.

The Gunners are confident of convincing the teenage prospect to sign a new deal at Emirates, which will secure his long-term future at the club.

Real Madrid, therefore, may have to do more than just convincing if they are to have any hopes of signing Lewis-Skelly in the future.

Fortunately, the club have other options in the market, including Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate, who has emerged as a top priority for the club in 2026.
