Real Madrid seem to have their eyes firmly on signing some of the best youngsters in the game, so that they build a squad that is not only competitive right now but several years down the line as well. It is with this aim that they have brought in Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni in recent years. And they seem to have their eyes on more rising stars of the game.
One player who has grown to prominence recently is Mohammed Kudus. He is enjoying quite the season and is unsurprisingly a man in demand as a result of his performances.
He scored a couple of goals for Ghana at the recent World Cup. And he has been absolutely brilliant for Ajax this season at the club level as well. Those displays seem to have caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs in world football, including Real Madrid.
As reported by Defensa Central (via The Hard Tackle), Real Madrid are watching the Ajax star closely. He is a target for Premier League giants Manchester United as well.
Real Madrid want to sign Manchester United target
Kudus is just 22 years of age. Thus, he could be a brilliant long-term signing for a lot of clubs around Europe.
It remains to be seen if Real Madrid end up making a move for Kudus or not. He would certainly tick a lot of boxes that the club look for, when bringing in players these days. On the other hand, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, would already be very familiar with him, from their time together at Ajax.
Of course, Kudus is not the only young player that Real Madrid have been linked with in recent times. There are several others. Thus, the upcoming summer transfer window could be very interesting for the club.
