500,000 yuan is worth 40 million! Director Malaga: Real Madrid wants to sign Izan Merino and pay 40 million yuan

May 30th Real Madrid had an interview with Malaga midfielder Izan Merino in 2023, and Malaga director Loren Varros talked about the matter.

(In October 2023, Real Madrid hoped to sign the player and made an official offer of 250,000 euros. But this offer was rejected by Loren. At that time, Yizan's contract expired on June 30, 2025, and the termination fee was 3 million euros. In the end, Yizan Merino renewed the contract until 2028, and Real Madrid is still paying attention)

Loren Waros: "The cooperation process with Yizan took a long time to let him see that the project will be realized and there are many young players involved. This does not mean that all young players will be involved. All trainers can enter the first team, but there are indeed players with greater potential to do this. "

"If Izan Merino must leave Malaga for Real Madrid, then he needs to leave 40 million euros. Malaga is not a springboard, but a place to become a professional player. This is the key. But we don't want players to regard Malaga as a springboard."

Last season, 19-year-old Spanish midfielder Izan Merino made 25 appearances for Malaga and gave 2 assists, and is currently worth 500,000 euros.
