Defensa Central has recently reported that Real Madrid are hoping to sign Napoli playmaker Hirving Lozano this summer. It is understood that Los Blancos will have to cough up Є60m to convince the Naples-based outfit to part ways with their prized asset during this summer transfer period (via Defensa Central).
Lozano’s Decent Form In Italian Football This Season
The Mexican attacker has enjoyed another impressive season at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium after producing several productive performances for Napoli over the past ten months. Lozano has banged in 15 goals and secured five assists in 43 matches for the Italian outfit this term in various competitions.
The Mexico City-born talent has caught the eye by averaging 1.8 shots, 1.1 key passes and 0.9 dribbles per 90 minutes in the Serie A this season. He has even distributed the ball well in the attacking third as he has made 76.6% of his attempted passes in league football (stats via whoscored).
The 25-year-old is about to embark upon the peak years of his playing career, so Los Blancos can expect to make the most out of his services if they find a way to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in this off-season.
What Will The Mexican International Add To Carlo Ancelotti’s Side?
Lozano possesses electric pace under his belt that helps him to make some promising runs in the final third. He has got the vision to play a killer pass in and around the opposition penalty area and can deliver some big performances when his teammates need him the most.
The former PSV Eindhoven star can play in any position across the frontline which makes him such a useful member of Napoli’s squad. We can expect the 41-time Mexico international to add a lot of goals and creativity to Carlo Ancelotti’s frontline if the new Real Madrid manager decides to make a move for him before the start of the new season.
Lozano has proven his worth in Italian football over the past few years. The Mexican sensation has shown that he has all the skillset required to play for one of the biggest clubs in world football. Hence, it makes sense for Ancelotti to add him to his squad so that Los Blancos have enough depth to compete for major trophies in both domestic and European football in the coming seasons.
At 25, the future is quite bright for Lozano, so the Madrid giants should think about recruiting him as he will add plenty of quality to Ancelotti’s first XI and could even increase competition for places within the Italian tactician’s squad.
