Real Madrid has been linked with a move for Athletic Bilbao midfielder Oihan Sancet, according to reports. Bilbao is willing to pay €30 million for the 21-year-old midfielder.
Only a few days ago, the Spaniard made headlines when he scored a hat-trick in Athletic Bilbao's 3-1 La Liga victory over Osasuna. After rising through Bilbao's youth divisions, he made his La Liga debut in 2019. Sancet has made 57 appearances in the league since then, scoring seven goals and assisting on another six. Oihan Sancet is being watched by Real Madrid for a variety of reasons. He can play as a second striker or as an aggressive midfielder. With the likes of Gareth Bale, Mariano Diaz, and Luka Jovic rumoured to be leaving, Sancet might fill in for Karim Benzema. If necessary, he may also play as a midfielder to cover for Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
The Spaniard is yet to receive an official offer from Los Blancos. If he continues to grow at this rate, it won't be long until the Spanish giants pay the €30 million transfer fee.
Real Madrid is trying to get back on track in La Liga with a win over Valencia.
Real Madrid has just suffered a devastating 1-0 defeat in La Liga against Getafe in their first match of 2022. This puts them five points clear at the top of the standings, with a game in hand on second-placed Sevilla.
Los Blancos bounced back from their Copa del Rey Round of 32 loss by defeating Alcoyano 3-1 on Wednesday.
They'll now try to continue their momentum into Saturday's La Liga match against Valencia. Valencia has won three of their previous five games, with one loss and one draw. As a result, Real Madrid will face a difficult opponent. The Merengues will face an El Clasico in the Supercopa de Espana after their weekend match against Valencia. Despite Barcelona's struggles this season, a chance at a trophy and a new player in Ferran Torres may be enough to motivate them. On January 13, the much-anticipated match will take place at Camp Nou.
