It is reported that the Spanish club "Real Madrid" continues to keep the young midfielder Kees Smit, who plays for the Dutch team "AZ Alkmaar", in their plans for the 2026 summer transfer window. The club sees him as one of its main projects in the long term.
Idman.Biz reports, citing "AS", that Smit is fully in line with the club's strategy of investing in young and high-potential players, and this policy remains unchanged despite the challenges of the transition period on the field.
The player, who will turn 20 this year, fits the profile intended for a decade-long perspective at the Santiago Bernabeu and is similar to the model by which players such as Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham and Endrick were transferred in the past.
According to the source, "Real Madrid" has been refraining from spending large sums on players over 25 years old since 2019, while stars such as Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Kilian Mbappe and Trent Alexander-Arnold have joined the team for free or at a low cost.
It is emphasized that Kees Smit's possible transfer may be carried out not with a financial amount that will cause a great stir, but in accordance with the club's long-term stability policy.
According to reports, although "Real Madrid" is closely monitoring the player's development, Kees Smit did not consider this option suitable for his sports strategy. This decision is not personal, but purely related to career planning.
