❌It is NOT TRUE: Real Madrid are hot on the heels of VfB Stuttgart centre-back Finn Jeltsch. It is true that Los Blancos are aware of the 20-year-old. He’s still very highly rated at Bayern Munich; they like the player. At the moment, there’s no need for centre-back reinforcements in Munich, as Hiroki Ito and Min-jae Kim are still hanging around. But if they could sell one of these players, then Jeltsch would be a good option for Bayern Munich. He knows this. There were no concrete talks but Bayern made a sign that they were interested. Real Madrid could be a very big step for the player but I can confirm that there were no talks there either.
However, if you’ve been watching the Real Madrid bench, you may have noticed a familiar face from the Bundesliga in Sami Khedira. He’s one of José Mourinho’s assistants. Before, he was, of course, with VfB Stuttgart as a player before later taking a job as an advisor. Khedira knows Jeltsch and his potential very well. So, when there are rumours around Madrid suggesting that they’re interested in the defender, you can imagine how easy it would be for Khedira to initiate first contact. We’ll keep an eye on the situation but, for the time being, Bayern doesn’t have to be afraid of losing the player to Real Madrid. They have one hand on the centre-half and would be the first to make a move.
He’s a jewel of German football!
