Real Madrid midfield target Kees Smit will reportedly cost more than €45 million ($53.6 million), a price that could jump even higher this summer as several European giants battle to sign the young Dutchman.
The 20-year-old has been on Los Blancos’ radar in their pursuit of a long-term successor to Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić. The 15-time European champions are in desperate need of an orchestrator in the middle of the park, one with high intelligence and exceptional vision who can control the game in tight spaces and progress the ball forward.
