All top European clubs are actively searching for promising young players around the world, with Real Madrid and Barcelona being two of the most active in this area. In recent weeks, both clubs have shown interest in a young talent from Eastern Europe.
Details: According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, both clubs are closely monitoring the situation of Saba Kharabashvili, a 16-year-old who has already become a key player for Georgia's champions, Dinamo Tbilisi.
The La Liga giants may have an advantage in the race for Kharabashvili, as Dinamo Tbilisi has strengthened its ties with Spain in recent years, even opening an office in Barcelona, which makes a move to the Catalan club more likely.
Reminder: Barcelona plans to sign a new left-back in 2025, and Kharabashvili could quickly make the first team depending on how the situation unfolds. Real Madrid is also interested in bolstering their left-back position, even with the anticipated arrival of Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich.
