Real Madrid has been closely monitoring the progress of Rafa Venancio, a 17-year-old Brazilian central defender. The talented player has not only caught the attention of Real Madrid but also other clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United. Among them, Chelsea has shown the most interest in signing the young South American talent.

Real Madrid’s strong presence in Brazil has played a significant role in their pursuit of Venancio. The club’s successful track record in the country could be a key factor in securing the player for the upcoming season. Additionally, the expertise of June Calafat, who has a knack for attracting Brazilian players, adds to Real Madrid’s advantage. However, Chelsea’s interest and financial capabilities could potentially alter the situation and lure the central defender back to the Premier League.
