Real Madrid plan to sign Mario Hermoso this January

He is one of the most fashionable footballers in the league, and Luis Enrique has included Espanyol's Mario Hermoso in the next Spain squad list, so it's no wonder that Real Madrid are interested in his services and intend to exercise their option on him in January.

Los Blancos can purchase the player for 7.5 million euros, and because they are still awaiting a fully fit Jesus Vallejo, and can see just what competition Hermoso would bring, it appears to be a deal that will be executed.

Nothing is decided as yet, mind.

Espanyol's position

Espanyol don't want to sell because Hermoso is a key player, but owner, Chen Yansheng, needs money to balance the accounts.

There are other clubs closely following the spectacular progression of the centre-back, including Arsenal.

He's a player that Unai Emery really likes and he's watched him on more than one occasion.

Formed in La Fabrica

Trained at La Fabrica and with Sergio Ramos as an example, he joined Espanyol in the summer of 2017 from Castilla, and after spending a year on loan at Valladolid.

It was a very risky operation for the entity of Cornella as the defender had never played in the Spanish top flight, but his impudence soon saw him win a regular spot under Quique.

Now Rubi has brought out the best of Hermoso.

He has played and completed every minute in the league this season and has two goals.

The Catalans have only conceded eight goals, and the prize of the national team call up has just arrived.

It reminds us of Marco Asensio, who had been the last Periquito to enter a Spain squad a couple of years ago, and before Kiko Casilla.

Both, in fact, ended up at Madrid after their call ups.

The defender, however, prefers not to think about Real right now.

"Our football is very attractive and we have an exceptional group, it doesn't even cross my mind right now," he said to MARCA.

"One of my characteristics has always been to be very ambitious, I do not like to put on or put a ceiling on what I can achieve.

"I have always believed in myself and in my qualities."
