Los Blancos are one of many big European teams interested in signing Redondo, with Bayern Munich and Liverpool also connected with a deal for the 21-year-old midfielder.
But according to recent rumors, Inter Miami is now the front-runner for Redondo, with a $8 million offer for the promising Argentinos Juniors player.
Furthermore, Defensa Central claims that Redondo’s apparent decision to join the MLS rather than travel directly to Europe has upset Madrid.
In fact, the American top division has gained a reputation in recent years for serving as a developmental league for South American players before they move on to the main soccer league.
Redondo, an Argentine who is very close to joining Lionel Messi and company at Inter Miami in Florida, appears to be planning to make the same move.
Federico Redondo choosing Inter Miami over Real Madrid is a statement
With Messi joining the team last year and Luis Suarez joining in January, together with Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, Inter Miami’s standing has never been greater.
And because of their star power, Inter Miami is able to draw in some of the best prospects from across the world, such as Redondo, an Argentine youth international.
It’s true that Inter Miami would make a statement if they were to sign the midfield player, especially because Madrid—possibly the largest sports team in the world—is interested in Redondo.
Winning a transfer war like this tells the rest of the world that Inter Miami is a team that is here to stay and that they can now recruit elite players to grow their roster.
