ANDhe real Madrid decided this week to enter the bid for Iker Bravo, striker for Bayer Leverkusen and regular for all the Spanish teams in the lower categories (11 goals in the U17). He appeared in Germany a year ago, but he believes that it is time to return after the experience of the last twelve months. Atlético de Madrid has been the club that has shown the most interest in his signingbut the picture has changed with the arrival of the Madrid team.
Bayer Leverkusen, in terms of figures, talks about transferring a first-team player, but at Real Madrid they see it for the time being as a bet for the future, a footballer project that must be completed in advance and forced by Castilla. And as such they are taking the steps they deem appropriate. Without losing his head at any time.
The economic claims of the German club are high, far from what the white team seems to be able to offer. It is not a simple operation and the player and his agents have a lot to say. In fact, the Spaniard appears as such in the first team squad on all the aspirin club’s channelsan argument used by Leverkusen when it comes to raising the economic claims of the transfer.
Iker Bravo (17 years old until next January) belongs to those many young soccer players who receive the call from teams outside of Spain with the promise of receiving many minutes of play and money that are discussed here while they are still youthful. Hugo Novoa, Dani Olmo, Bellerin or in his day Cesc opted for his departure as youth. Some integrate and grow as footballers, as has happened with the Catalan, but adapting to life outside of Spain is not that simple and sometimes it takes its toll.
In Leverkusen they are happy with the performance of the striker, in fact he participates in training, but the presence of strikers like the Czech Schick, Iranian Azmoun, Hlozek complicate those chances and, therefore, at Bayer he would have the option of the under 19 team.
The Bayer Leverkusen striker still decided not to continue at Barcelona a year ago, seduced by the money (it was not the best offer he received) and, above all, by the real possibility of showing up for the first team in a more competitive way. or less close in time. And he did it by letting himself be seen in a Cup match and another in the Bundesliga.
