Transfer News: Barcelona Rival Real Madrid For a chase to sign AS Roma defender
Barcelona are reportedly interested in 28-year-old Italian international Leonardo Spinazzola, who is also a target for rivals Real Madrid.
According to a report by reputed Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the race to sign Leonardo Spinazzola in the summer transfer window is intensifying. Real Madrid are no longer the only big-name La Liga club showing an interest in the AS Roma defender, who is also a target for fierce rivals Barcelona now.
Leonardo Spinazzola had already seen his stock skyrocket on the back of a solid 2020/21 campaign. His star, though, has continued to ascent further courtesy top-notch performances for Italy at UEFA Euro 2020, having been awarded the Man of the Match award in two of the Azzurri’s four games so far.
As a result, some of the marquee names of European football have invariably cast admiring glances towards the 28-year-old, with one of his suitors being Spanish giants Real Madrid. The Merengues, though, now face stiff competition for Spinazzola from bitter La Liga rivals Barcelona.
The continued interest from Real Madrid is intriguing, considering there have been suggestions from reliable sources that Marcelo is unlikely to be sold this summer. In fact, the veteran Brazilian defender is set to become the new club captain for Los Blancos following the departure of Sergio Ramos.
