Spain's "Atletico" club is closely interested in 19-year-old midfielder Kees Smit, who plays for the Dutch team "AZ Alkmaar".
Idman.Biz reports that journalist Ekrem Konur announced this and stated that the scouts of the Madrid club are carefully monitoring the player's performances.
Previously, "Real" was mentioned as the main candidate for the Dutch midfielder. However, "Atletico" joining the race could intensify the competition for the transfer.
It is noted that England's "Manchester City" and "Chelsea" clubs, as well as "Barcelona", are also interested in Kees Smit.
According to Transfermarkt, Kees Smit's market value is 22 million euros (approximately 40.7 million AZN).
It should be noted that the player himself is not interested in moving to "Real".
