According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are interested in 15-year-old Max Dowman. The youngster has impressed Alonso and company, especially after his first team appearance during Arsenal's recent preseason match. Dowman, who played 30 minutes against Newcastle, won a penalty, which Martin Odegaard converted.

Arsenal attacking midfielder Max Dowman has joined William Saliba on Real Madrid’s transfer wishlist, according to a report in Spain.

But Saliba’s future has been the subject of some speculation in recent months, with the centre-back attracting strong interest from La Liga giants Madrid. A recent report from Cadena SER suggested Saliba had been placed at the top of Madrid’s wishlist in what has been dubbed ‘Operation 2026’.
