La Liga giants Real Madrid have had their interest firmly piqued by the talents of a member of the defensive ranks at German outfit Stuttgart.

This comes amid the understanding that those behind the scenes in Spain’s capital are now actively following the development of up-and-coming stopper Finn Jeltsch.

Jeltsch has for his part emerged as a central figure in the media chatter in his home country over the last couple of weeks. This comes after the 20-year-old was afforded a first-ever call-up to the German senior national squad.

Jeltsch has thoroughly impressed with his performances at the heart of Stuttgart’s backline over the early weeks of the new campaign, with his talents on the ball having garnered widespread attention.

And as alluded to above, amongst those to have had their heads turned by the youngster are those in the boardroom at none other than Real Madrid. As per a report from Diario AS:

‘Real Madrid have their sights set on the 20-year-old Stuttgart centre-back, whose Transfermarkt value is already at €35 million.’
