Whisper+ Analysis
Authenticity (3/5): Potential to be true
Amid growing interest from Liverpool and Manchester United, Los Blancos are reportedly ready to make a bold bid for the 21-year-old Bournemouth defender.
According to Fichajes.net, Kerkez is on Real Madrid’s radar for a summer move as they seek a strong left-back. It is important to note that the source has the reputation of birthing sensational reports.
Value (4/5): Up and coming
Real Madrid, or any other interested suitor for that matter, will have no issues paying £20-25m for the Hungarian talent. This could be the chance to capitalise on his growing value.
Suitability (3/5): Doubts remain
Kerkez has proved beneficial for the Cherries this season, but playing for Real Madrid is a whole different ballgame. That is not to say he cannot excel, especially as he possesses impressive agility and strong defensive metrics that could suit him for Madrid’s system.
Upgrade (3/5): Too soon to say
Replacing a current starter like Benjamin Mendy is no small feat, but Kerkez would undoubtedly elevate the club’s defensive depth.
Kerkez still has ample room to grow, and may not immediately replace the big guns, but his presence in the squad it is not entirely out of question.
Logic (4/5): Who says no to the Bernabeu?
The chance to develop at arguably the biggest club in the world doesn’t come around often. With world-class coaching, Kerkez could become one of the best in his position.
His raw potential is there for everyone to see, and stepping onto the Bernabeu pitch could prove transformative for the player.
Whisper+ Verdict: 21/25
The Hungarian has been turning heads in England, but the prospect of joining the Whites could offer him a much-needed challenge at just 21, which might prove irresistible.
