Real Madrid is closely monitoring Jorrel Hato, a young center-back currently playing for Ajax. At only 18 years old, the Dutch player has established himself as one of the most promising young talents in the Netherlands, and the Madrid side seeks to strengthen their defensive line with his addition, considering David Alaba's uncertain future due to long-term injuries.
Hato, known for his excellent ball distribution and physical attributes despite his young age, has shone at Ajax since his arrival in 2018, showing significant growth in a short period. The young defender has played over 70 matches for the Dutch club, contributing both defensively and offensively, scoring goals and providing assists.
Furthermore, his progress has earned him a debut with the senior national team of the Netherlands, attracting the interest of top European clubs, including Real Madrid. Other clubs showing interest in acquiring his services are Mikel Arteta's Arsenal and Tottenham.
Real Madrid seeks a future center-back
The Madrid team, aware of the need to rejuvenate its defense, sees Hato as an interesting option to partner with Eder Militao in the future. With Antonio Rüdiger nearing the end of his career, Real Madrid is in search of a young, left-footed center-back who can take on a leading role in the upcoming years. While other names like Castello Lukeba are also being considered, Hato appears to be a solid choice due to his versatility, being able to play both as a center-back and a left-back.
Real Madrid's interest in Hato indicates the club's ongoing commitment to young talent to remain competitive in European football. However, the competition for his signing is expected to be fierce, and the player has not yet made a decision about his future. His current contract expires in the summer of 2028, and his price is around 30 million euros.
