The hunt for Real Madrid’s new commanding officer in midfield continues this summer, afer the exit of General Toni Kroos was keenly felt this season. A number of names have been associated with Los Blancos, but a new name is on their radar for a potential move.
Previously Real Madrid have been linked to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Larsson earlier this season in Germany, but now their interest in him has been confirmed by [Marca](https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2025/05/20/hugo-larsson-aparece-radar-direccion-deportiva-real-madrid.html). The 20-year-old has become one of standouts in the Bundesliga, and while the Madrid-based paper say that it is unlikely a midfielder lands in the Spanish capital before the Club World Cup, Larsson is amongst the options being considered for a summer signing.
Real Madrid send scouts to watch Hugo Larsson
---------------------------------------------
Their information is that in recent months, Real Madrid have sent scouts to watch several Eintracht games to watch Larsson, who has caught the attention in a major way at Valdebebas. This season he has played 47 times and scored six times, and they mention that his Transfermarkt value is around €40m, although it is not yet clear what Eintracht would demand for him.
Real Madrid have a number of alternatives
-----------------------------------------
A number of midfielders have been mentioned, with a distinct Bundesliga flavour, perhaps as a result of the impending arrival of Xabi Alonso.
