Real Madrid are seeking reinforcements for the midfield sector. The ball is Elif Elmas, from Napoli. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Carlo Ancelotti is closely following the performances of the player from Northern Macedonia in this European Qualifiers for the World Cup.
The 22-year-old returned to the spotlight of the Italian team after the arrival of coach Luciano Spalletti. While at Napoli, in 2019, Ancelotti was responsible for hiring Elmas, when the Neapolitans paid 16 million euros (about R$ 98 million) to get him out of Fenerbahce, in Turkey.
The meringues, however, must compete for the athlete with rival Barcelona, who, according to the newspaper, is also interested in the athlete.
Another one who stands out is Franck Kessié, 24 years old. The information that comes from Corriere dello Sport says the Blancos coach sees the Ivorian as a good substitute for the Brazilian Casemiro.
The player’s contractual situation also favors Real Madrid, as his link with Milan ends in mid-2022.
Kessié joined the Italian team in 2017, having played 196 games and 33 goals for the Italian club.
