There will not be a season in which Real Madrid is not the favorite in LaLiga in Spain as well as in any international competition in which it participates. Its extensive squad has always allowed it to fight on all fronts, and Carlo Ancelotti knows this very well. Therefore, even though we are halfway through the 2022-2023 season, the Italian is already thinking about how to approach the next campaign and has requested the signing of a player who has made a difference in the Premier League in recent years: Heung-Min Son.
According to Tuesday's report by Sport1, the Korean forward, tired of the inconsistent performances of the 'Spurs', plans to leave the club in 2023 in search of a team that will give him the opportunity to compete for great things.
This is where Real Madrid comes in. The same media outlet reported that Ancelotti is attracted to Son's game and has already been in contact with club president Florentino Pérez to sign him. The head of the 'White House', who has not been able to seduce Kylian Mbappé until now, would have no problem granting the experienced strategist his wish.
It is worth remembering that Heung-Min Son signed a contract extension with Tottenham in 2021 until June 2025, so the 'merengue' team would have to negotiate to secure his signing, valued between 75 and 90 million euros.
The 30-year-old Asian forward made his professional debut with Hamburger SV in 2010. After three seasons, he made the leap to Bayer Leverkusen before being signed by the English team, with whom he has played a total of 341 matches and scored 136 goals.
Real Madrid currently has Karim Benzema, Vinícius Júnior, and Rodrygo as its main forwards, but considering the limited activity of players of the caliber of Eden Hazard, Marco Asensio, or Mariano Díaz, Son could easily earn a place in the team.
