Real Madrid Finds Toni Kroos’ Successor, But He Costs Over 70 Million

Real Madrid have identified Swedish midfielder Hugo Larsson as one of their main targets for rebuilding their midfield in the summer transfer window, according to reports from Fussball Daten.

The Spanish giant, under the leadership of president Florentino Perez, is looking for a player who can control the pace of the game in the center of the field, as part of the transition after the era of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.

Larsson, who joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Malmo FF in the summer of 2023, has developed into one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe.
