There is a case to be made that Real Madrid is currently better than they were last season.
Aside from the two biggest names who have improved by leaps and bounds this season in Fede Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, perhaps the most telling sign of Los Blancos’ excellence is how they have continued their rise in the absence of the once-injured Karim Benzema.
There aren’t many teams that can go blow for blow with the European champions, with Rodrygo finding his feet as a false nine and Vinicius Jr. remaining one of Europe’s most devastating wingers.
However, the need for a new forward remains crucial, as other names such as Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio are seemingly far from viable options.
As a result, it is no surprise to discover that Carlo Ancelotti is a ‘huge fan’ of Son Heung-min, according to the latest information provided by SPORT1 (h/t Madrid Zone).
It has also been mentioned that the Tottenham Hotspur legend wants to take the next step in his career and is considering his future.
Since his switch to North London, the South Korean icon’s searing pace, elite finishing, quick feet and eye for goal are traits that have made him one of the most complete wingers in the world.
In addition, Son’s ability to shine in a more central role is another factor that could seemingly lure Real Madrid into putting in a bid for him, considering his incredible versatility.
However, Los Merengues may have to assess whether the deal makes sense on all levels.
After all, Son Heung-min has a mere three league goals this season and has looked like a shadow of his usual self.
At 30 years old and with three years left on his contract, this move could be a massive risk.
