Real Madrid sets its sights on Bourama Dembélé for January
Press reports have revealed that Real Madrid has set its sights on Granada defender Bourama Dembélé; according to the reports, the club has been monitoring the player since the beginning of the season.
Distinctive technical specifications
At 18 years old, Bourama Dembélé is a tall, slender center-back who has made quite an impression in his debut appearances for CF Granada in Spain's Segunda División, having previously proven himself in the youth ranks. The Malian-born player has already featured in four matches and scored one goal, establishing himself as one of the breakout stars of the season's first half. His talent has already caught the attention of La Liga clubs, including Real Madrid, Villarreal, Rayo Vallecano, and Real Betis.
Despite standing at 1.95 meters, Dembélé is remarkably comfortable with the ball at his feet. Physically imposing and nearly unbeatable in the air, the young defender displays a maturity in his play that explains his rapid rise. Last season, he appeared in 25 matches for Granada's U19 side, scoring once.
