According to a report from AS, Real Madrid are still said to be interested in signing Mario Hermoso. The 23 year old Spaniard is currently playing for Espanyol and has been since 2017 when he made the jump over from, you guessed it, Real Madrid B. Alas, as was the case during his first stint at the Bernabeu, Hermoso isn’t the first choice. Real are still prioritising the potential signing of Militao, and the renewal of their interest in Hermoso will depend entirely on whether or not they land their number one pick.
Real are said to have a buy back clause in Hermoso’s contract, which would allow them to pick him up for just £6.6 million. It sounds, and is, an extraordinarily cheap amount given the quality of the player, and it highlights the kind of dominance and influence that big teams have in the market – and it doesn’t seem like that’ll change any time soon.
