Real Madrid: 5 transfer targets to watch closely at Euro 2020

2. France CB Jules Kounde

As mentioned earlier, the center-back position would be an important one regarding the upcoming transfer window. As such, the player making his way into the Top 2 fits in this description right away. He is another friendly LaLiga face who has been the talk of the town after a fabulous campaign with Sevilla, Jules Kounde.

Kounde formerly featured in our list of available defenders and would be available for a release clause of 90 million euros, per La Razon. He has been linked heavily with Real Madrid and is seemingly their dream signing for the center-back position. The 22-year-old has been among LaLiga’s top 3 center-backs, comparable to Raphael Varane or Sergio Ramos.

He is predominantly a center-back but also can play on the right, which could be a point of interest for Real Madrid. The first-choice Right-back, Dani Carvajal remained prone to injury, after which the position saw some transition including Lucas Vazquez and Alvaro Odriozola. Having another choice for rotations and variable roles to change the system in between games can be a handy option to look for.

He would be a key player to keep an eye on as he joins the France squad that is one of the favorites to win the tournament. He would be on the same side as Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe, a system upfront that could soon be synonymous with Madrid’s attack and it’d be an exciting watch to see if they complement well.
