Real Madrid keen on Evan Ndicka at Mourinho’s request
Evan Ndicka is a cornerstone of Roma’s defense.
Gian Piero Gasperini currently has six central defenders for three positions: the Ivorian, Mancini, Hermoso, Koulierakis, Balerdi, and Ghilardi.
This is a well-rounded unit with plenty of experience and younger players who will have the opportunity to develop. Ndicka impressed on his debut against Fiorentina, completely outshining Pellegrino.
According to Fichajes.net , the 1999-born player has attracted interest from Real Madrid. The former Eintracht Frankfurt player is particularly admired by Mourinho, who coached him during his time in Rome.
Real Madrid is considering Ndicka to improve their defense. It’s not a priority at the moment, but it could be a potential move tied to potential transfers in the final days of the transfer window.
For Roma, however, the 1999-born player is a key player, so it won’t be easy to start a last-minute deal.
The Roman club’s position could prove decisive. If the Giallorossi were to show signs of openness, the initial price to negotiate would be around €35 million.
