The brass at La Liga giants Real Madrid talked through the merits of moves for a trio of midfielders this past summer.
That’s according to The Athletic, who have on Monday provided an insight into recent developments behind the scenes at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The subject of potential reinforcements in the middle of the park of course proved a prominent one in Spain’s capital over the summer.
As much came following the departure of Luka Modrić, and with speculation persisting regarding Dani Ceballos’ future.
In the end, with the latter having stayed put, Florentino Pérez and co. opted against pulling the trigger on a transfer swoop.
But as alluded to above, this did not stop those in the Real Madrid boardroom from discussing the potential additions of three midfielders in particular.
As per a report from The Athletic:
‘Two players in particular were discussed positively: Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, 21, and AZ’s Kees Smit, 19, both central midfielders.’
The potential return of former Blancos talent Nico Paz, now with Como, was also mulled over.
