According to The Sun, Carlo Ancelotti wants to bring Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Real Madrid this summer.
Ancelotti left Everton earlier this month, rocking the Toffees by returning to Real Madrid in an unexpected move.
The Italian will be looking for reinforcements this summer, and may remarkably move for Calvert-Lewin in a move few could have expected.
Calvert-Lewin to Real Madrid?!
It’s suggest that Everton are ‘under growing financial pressure’ and a £50million bid may be enough to prise Calvert-Lewin away from Goodison Park.
Everton would ideally like more than £60million for Calvert-Lewin, but Ancelotti is seemingly ready to try his luck.
How did Calvert-Lewin fare under Ancelotti?
The 24-year-old kicked on under the Italian, racking up 29 goals and five assists in 60 games with Ancelotti at the helm.
Ancelotti branded Calvert-Lewin the ‘complete’ striker back in October, so it’s clear that he admires the England international.
Is Calvert-Lewin to Real likely?
It doesn’t seem it. Maybe Ancelotti wants a target man figure that can support Karim Benzema and change the game from the bench, which could be Calvert-Lewin.
Yet with decisions yet to be made on Mariano Diaz, Luka Jovic and Borja Mayoral, splashing big money on Calvert-Lewin just doesn’t seem realistic, and he may well need to take another step forward before he earns a huge move to a club like Real.
