In their relentless search for young talent, Real Madrid have targeted Lutsharel Geertruida as a possible successor to the right-back position occupied by Dani Carvajal. The Dutch defender, 23 years old and with a contract at Feyenoord until the summer of 2025, proves to be an interesting option for the Whites due to his versatility, as he can play as a right-back as well as a central defender and midfielder.
Real Madrid, always looking to build a competitive team for the future, sees Geertruida as an interesting profile to strengthen their defense in the coming years. The aim is to sign one of the most outstanding young right-backs in the world and the Dutchman is presented as an attractive option to strengthen the defensive rotation.
Real Madrid on the trail of Geertruida: the future jewel for the defensive line
This season Geertruida has proven his skills at Feyenoord, with 4 goals and 2 assists in 25 games. This performance has cemented his reputation as one of the most promising defenders of his generation and Real Madrid are prepared to invest around €35 ​​million to secure his signing.
Florentino Pérez, who is in charge of deployment, is looking at several options to strengthen the right-back position and Geertruida is one of the favorites alongside Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong and Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold. Although these alternatives have higher prices, Real Madrid see Geertruida as a perfect combination of youth, quality and cost, making him a key target in the next transfer market.
