Real Madrid, along with other top European clubs, are reportedly keeping a close eye on a talented young English player.
The European champions are known for their success in signing promising young talents, such as Endrick and Arda Guler, who have made their mark in the first-team squad after joining as teenagers.
Following the successful transfer of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund last summer, Carlo Ancelotti’s team is now reportedly interested in another English talent. Sunderland’s 17-year-old central midfielder, Chris Rigg, has caught the attention of both Real Madrid and Dortmund in the past year, with RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich also keeping tabs on him.
Rigg, who has been performing well for Sunderland at the start of the new season, is seen by scouts as a standout talent and is predicted to be the next big-money Championship departure.
Despite the interest from top clubs, it may be too early for Rigg to make a move to a European powerhouse, given his young age. Staying at Sunderland, where he has been thriving, and continuing to develop in a familiar environment could be the best option for his growth at this stage in his career, as suggested by FourFourTwo.
