Real Madrid will reportedly look to sign 29-year-old Czech striker Patrik Schick from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Patrik Schick is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The reigning La Liga champions are scouring the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Bayer Leverkusen attacker. Meanwhile, the Bundesliga club will demand around €40 million to part ways with the Czech centre-forward.

Patrik Schick and his resurgence

Patrik Schick has established himself as one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga this season. The Prague native is a well-travelled footballer, representing multiple clubs in Italy and Germany since leaving his homeland in July 2016. While he has shown flashes of brilliance and undeniable potential, inconsistency has often hampered him.

Nevertheless, the 29-year-old has enjoyed an exceptional 2024/25 campaign, establishing himself as the first-choice striker for Bayer Leverkusen. Schick has contributed to 24 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net 23 times and providing one assist.

Meanwhile, Schick’s exploits in the 2024/25 campaign have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Recent reports have linked the Czech striker with Manchester United. However, Real Madrid will aim to beat the competition to the Bayer Leverkusen attacker’s signature in the summer transfer window.

La Liga adventure beckoning?

Real Madrid’s interest in Patrik Schick is understandable. The reigning La Liga champions are scouring the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. Either player’s departure will enable Kylian Mbappe to play on the left flank instead of leading the line for Real Madrid.

So, Los Blancos must scour the market for a striker in the summer transfer window, with Schick emerging as a viable target. Meanwhile, the Bayer Leverkusen forward will not cost a bomb, with the Bundesliga champions demanding around €40 million to part ways with him.

Bayer Leverkusen’s asking price is reasonable, considering Schick’s form and age profile. However, it is unclear if Real Madrid will meet the Bundesliga club’s valuation. However, that will only materialise when the two parties open talks over a summer move for the 29-year-old Czech striker.
