Real Madrid are already planning for the summer. The Spanish giants are once again scanning the market for elite young talent.
Now, they are looking at their attacking line. While the current squad looks strong, long-term planning is already in motion.
They would have sold Rodrygo if he was fit. However, they are still looking at attackers in case Rodrygo leaves next summer.
However, they are not rushing into any deal. Instead, they are closely monitoring performances and development.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have gone through a major rebuild. They spent heavily in the summer to reshape their squad.
Big names have arrived to strengthen multiple positions. So, expectations were high from the start of the season. But the season turned out to be a complete disaster.
The Reds are now fighting for a place in the Champions League. However, they wanted to retain the Premier League title along with winning the Champions League.
But interestingly, even in this poor season, one player has stood out more than the rest. He has stepped up when the team needed him most.
According to TEAMtalk, Real Madrid have now added Hugo Ekitike to their radar. His name has been rising internally within their scouting ranks.
The 23-year-old has scored 17 goals in 42 appearances this season. So, he has become a key figure at Anfield.
Also, he stepped up when Alexander Isak struggled with fitness. That made his impact even more important.
Madrid now see him as one of the most promising young forwards in Europe. His profile fits their long-term plans perfectly.
However, they may not make a move this summer. The Los Blancos are likely targeting a major decision around 2027.
So, if his growth continues, Hugo Ekitike could become a central figure in Real Madrid’s next attacking era.
