T<\/span>he young Kees Smit<\/strong>, an AZ Alkmaar<\/strong> player, is the great revelation of European football and everything suggests that he will leave for one of the big clubs on the old continent when the current season ends. In addition, there are two teams especially interested in having his services: Real Madrid and Barcelona.<\/strong><\/p>\n Former Dutch footballers from both teams have been speaking out in recent days. Rafael Van der Vaart<\/strong>, a former Real Madrid player, is clear where the player will end up. “If he continues to progress like this, he will undoubtedly end up at Real Madrid or one of the biggest clubs in the world, which for me is Real Madrid,” he said.<\/p>\n Lamine Yamal shows leadership beyond his years after painful exit<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n For their part, in the Barcelona environment, the enormous Blaugrana connection with Dutch football is always remembered, since Johan Cruyff<\/strong> arrived in Barcelona in the 1970s.<\/p>\n And what does the boy say?

So much so that the big clubs in Europe are starting to focus on him. Barcelona<\/strong> could be one of them, although it is true that the figures being talked about are somewhat far from the Catalan club’s economy (around 50 million euros<\/strong>). However, signals are being sent from the player’s entourage.<\/p>\n Ronald Koeman, who said that he is “a player for Barca” and defined him as “a mix between De Jong and Pedri”. The midfielder, meanwhile, celebrates the success achieved by his team a few days ago. A title that they will celebrate in Barcelona and that is why he wanted to joke about this trip.<\/p>\n If I’m asked to negotiate, I’m more than willing to do so.
