Midfield upgrade: Real Madrid closely monitors Serie A midfielder

Real Madrid is keeping a close eye on AS Roma's midfielder Neil El Aynaoui as a promising option for the next summer transfer period.

According to Sky Italia, the Moroccan international has attracted significant attention due to his energetic playing style, strong ball-winning abilities, and increasingly refined tactical awareness. The scouting team of the Spanish giants has monitored the 25-year-old in several key matches.

Notably, El Aynaoui made a strong impression while representing Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations. During the tournament, the Roma midfielder demonstrated consistency, excellent midfield coverage, and resilient fighting spirit. These qualities align well with the criteria Real Madrid is seeking for their midfield lineup during their squad rejuvenation phase.

Sources from Italy reveal that Real’s management is seriously considering El Aynaoui as a transfer option for the summer. Although no final decision has been made yet, the Bernabéu club has conducted thorough evaluations of the player’s skillset, physical condition, and long-term potential.

Real Madrid’s plan is to continue monitoring El Aynaoui’s form with AS Roma until the season concludes. His displays in Serie A, especially in high-profile matches, will play a crucial role in convincing “Los Blancos” leadership to take concrete steps in the transfer market.

Importantly, Real Madrid is reported to have made initial contact with El Aynaoui’s agent. This move is seen as a preliminary probe to understand contract details, transfer fees, and the player’s attitude towards the prospect of moving to Spain.

From El Aynaoui’s perspective, the midfielder is very enthusiastic about the possibility of joining Real Madrid. He regards the Spanish giants as his top priority if an official offer arrives at season’s end, opening a significant opportunity for a major career advancement.
