Real Madrid step up pursuit of 19-year old midfield sensation, Barcelona also keen

Real Madrid have already closed three signings, and it is not ruled out that at least two more arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu later this summer. Alvaro Carreras is expected to be the fourth, and the fifth could be a new midfielder.

As reported by Diario AS, Real Madrid are interested in signing Kees Smit, and they are prepared to step up that interest in the coming weeks.

Smit will be unknown to many outside The Netherlands, where he plays for AZ Alkmaar. He made 30 appearances for the Eredivisie side last season, but his breakout has been at this summer’s U19 European Championship.

Smit, who is described as an “organiser” in midfield, recently won the MVP award at the U19 Euros, having scored four goals and provided an assist across the tournament, which was won by The Netherlands as they defeated Spain in the final.
