'Captain' Son Heung-min,"Vice-captain" Not Christian Romero. Looking to sign 23-year-old Mickey van der Penn, who is recovering from injury.
Spain's 'Relevo' reported on the 29th (Korea time) that Real Madrid has decided to recruit Van der Penn in the January transfer market. Real Madrid are without Eder Militão and David Alaba due to injuries.
Centerback blood transfusion is the biggest issue. England's 'TeamTalk' also recently reported that Real Madrid is focusing on strengthening its defensive line and has reportedly selected Van der Penn as a candidate for recruitment in January.
After making his professional debut in Bolendam, the Netherlands, he went through Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga and fell into Tottenham's arms last summer. The transfer fee was 43 million pounds (about 80 billion won).
It was his first meeting with the English Premier League (EPL), but he didn't need time to adapt. He was hampered by two hamstring (back muscle of the thigh) injuries but built a strong centre-back combination with Romero.
At the end of the season, he changed his position to left fullback due to a line injury in the defensive line. Van der Penn scored three goals in 27 appearances in the EPL. Son Heung-min, who scored 17 goals and 10 assists, was selected as the "Player of the Year" by fans, making headlines.
He has been going and standing again this season due to a hamstring injury. Van der Penn played in nine matches in the EPL and had only two assists. He made a surprise return in the 15th round of the EPL against Chelsea on the 9th, but he was out of his power after complaining of pain again in the 34th minute of the second half.
But there are endless worries. Van der Penn is a tall defender with a height of 1 m 93. As a captain of the Netherlands Under-21 team, he was selected as a 'second van Dijk' early on.
The best strength is speed. Van der Penn became the fastest player in the EPL. He was selected for the Netherlands and played in Euro 2024.
However, Van der Penn's chances of going to Real Madrid are not high. Tottenham classify Van der Penn as the core of their defensive power. The contract period is also until June 2029. However, the story may be different if a transfer fee of 'a huge amount' is presented.
