Iker Bravo risks being one of the main agitators of the next transfer window. And this, while outside Madrid, the 19-year-old striker is not particularly known. After a complicated start to the season in the lower categories of Real Madrid, the Iberian U19 international finished the season well with the Madrid U19 team, coached by Alvaro Arbeloa. He notably scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 7 UEFA Youth League matches, also scoring 17 goals in the Iberian U19 championship.
And this, while last January, Real Madrid were considering firing him because of mediocre performances and not always ideal behavior. The Merengues will also have to make a decision on this subject. The striker has actually been on loan from Bayer Leverkusen for two seasons, and the Madrilenians have a purchase option of 10 million euros. Are they going to lift it? This is a serious possibility, even if the leaders of the La Liga club would like to negotiate this clause downwards. Everything will also depend on the future of Raul, the Castilla coach, who could leave and leave his place to Alvaro Arbeloa, who is a big fan of the striker.
A big list of contenders
In any case, in the event that he were to leave Madrid permanently, Iker Bravo would have no problem finding a new base. As indicated A.S., Iker Bravo like Leverkusen will be overwhelmed by offers. Among the clubs interested, we find in particular two Ligue 1 clubs: AS Monaco and Rennes, who will have to fight with a good number of La Liga clubs, as well as Union Berlin or Udinese.
All these clubs also offer what Real Madrid cannot offer: a guaranteed place in the first team. And obviously, it is very attractive for the main person concerned, who had already started in the Bundesliga at the age of 16 in 2021. Staying in Leverkusen does not seem to be on the agenda. Case to be continued, but Monaco and Rennes have every chance in this matter…
