Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is reportedly interested in making a €50m offer to Villarreal this summer for Nigeria and Villareal forward, Samuel Chukwueze.
This comes after the winger scored twice as his side defeated Real Madrid 3-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
His performance has reportedly impressed Perez who might be willing to bring Chukwueze to the Spanish capital.
According to Goal.com, Florentino Perez dreams of forming a good balance between Chukwueze on one flank and Vinicius Junior on the other.
With Chukwueze set to run out in 2024, Villareal is willing to accept anything around €50 million. He has a €100 million buyout clause in his current deal.
Goal.com says Real Madrid could be in the market to strengthen their attack in the summer. Marco Asensio is out of contract and Carlo Ancelotti has said he "doesn't care" if the forward sign a new deal.
Eden Hazard's future is also uncertain, with the Belgian struggling for minutes once again at the Bernabeu.
Nigerians react on social media
Kingpope0: U see say na una NFF get issues n not the players
Ohans_Kayce: No! Chukwueze is good but he needs to be established to make such bold move... He also needs to consider if he can be a starter at Real Madrid...
babziemoi: E go chop bench tire for Madrid
Kingprincecool: Would be a bad move….He needs more development and Madrid doesn’t develop players the always want finished articles
_ajibolax: I would advice him not to go to Real Madrid. He should consider Ajax if an offer comes. But Madrid is a no no
