Real Madrid's attack blazes, but defensive woes persist
Real Madrid's forwards were in scintillating form as they secured their place in the knockout stage of the Champions League with a dominant 5-1 victory over RB Salzburg.
The 22-year-old winger, who can also operate as a centre-forward, has enjoyed a sensational 2024/25 season, netting 15 goals and providing 9 assists in 46 appearances for the Austrian club.
Nene, whose contract with Salzburg runs until 2028, is reportedly ready for a new challenge and believes he possesses the talent to compete at the highest level.
Salzburg, for their part, are understood to be open to selling the versatile attacker if the right offer, believed to be in the region of 20m-25m euros, materializes.
Leading the chase from England are Tottenham, who are said to be monitoring Nene closely and have him on their shortlist, considering a concrete move despite their current managerial vacancy following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.
The competition for Nene's services is fierce, with interest also emerging from Germany and Italy.
Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg are reportedly tracking the Mali international as a potential future option, while Serie A clubs Lazio and Fiorentina have been following his development, though no concrete approaches have yet been made.
