Real Madrid have set their sights on Bukayo Saka and, according to recent sources, are preparing a multi-million offer of around €150 million to convince Arsenal. Within the Real Madrid board, there is a clear belief: the English winger is the ideal piece for Xabi Alonso’s project, especially if one of their current forwards leaves.
The Spanish giants are seriously considering the signing of Saka, but the move would not be independent— it depends directly on the future of Vinícius Jr. or Rodrygo Goes.
According to reports from outlets such as Team Talk and various sports pages, Los Blancos will open their transfer budget only if one of the Brazilian forwards leaves the club this summer. President Florentino Pérez and director José Ángel Sánchez view the Englishman Saka as a priority signing if the opportunity arises.
Their interest intensified after Saka’s performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. The Englishman scored, dribbled past defenders, and showed character, convincing the Real Madrid management that he could shine at the Santiago Bernabéu.
His technical and mental profile fits perfectly with the style required by coach Xabi Alonso.
Alonso sees Saka as the perfect right-wing attacker
For coach Xabi Alonso, Saka is more than just a talented player: he is the ideal right winger for his style of play.
With his speed, creativity, assists, and goal-scoring ability, the Englishman would be a major threat in attack. Furthermore, his young age and his potential align perfectly with the club’s ambitious rebuilding project.
The board also agrees that Saka could fill part of the gap that would be left if Vinícius or Rodrygo were to depart.
Reports indicate that Real Madrid had already approved an initial package of €120 million to buy the player this summer. However, new sources raise this figure, suggesting an offer of up to €150 million — showing the extent to which the club is prepared to make a strong push for him.
