Hugo Humanes set to join Inter Milan
Hugo Humanes is reportedly on the verge of ending his stint with Real Madrid to join Inter Milan in the ongoing transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet MARCA, Hugo Humanes will join Inter Milan this summer. The 16-year-old wonderkid has been an excellent performer for Real Madrid in the last nine years. But he has ended his stint with Los Blancos, with the Serie A giants agreeing to a deal with them. And the teenage sensation will sign a three-year contract with the Nerazzurri.
Hugo Humanes has been an excellent performer in La Fabrica since joining Real Madrid nine years ago. The teenage whizkid is a native of Guadalajara and has gone from strength to strength at Real Madrid. And such has been his progress that he has been representing Los Blancos at the under-19 level.
That is despite being only 16 years old. But age has not been a barrier for Humanes, who has found the back of the net over 100 times in age-group football. However, the youngster’s stint with Real Madrid has ended. And he is moving to Italy, with Serie A giants Inter Milan snapping him up.
The teenage sensation, who holds Mexican and Spanish citizenship, has been a sensational performer in age-group football. So losing him will be a big blow for Real Madrid. That said, Humanes might not have had a clear pathway to first-team football, considering Kylian Mbappe will likely join Real Madrid next summer.
Mbappe’s arrival will mean that the Real Madrid squad will have a loaded offensive unit, also consisting of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, and Endrick. So leaving Real Madrid is a sensible decision by Humanes. And the Merengues have an agreement with Serie A giants Inter Milan for the 16-year-old wonderkid.
The report claims that Humanes will sign a three-year contract with Inter Milan. And he will likely turn out for the Serie A club’s under-19 team, just like he did at Real Madrid. Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri will also look to bolster the first-team squad with a striker, with Folarin Balogun being the top target.
As for Humanes, he should ideally have a quick path to first-team football at San Siro. With Lautaro Martinez being popular in the market, the 16-year-old should be in line to replace the World Cup winner at the Serie A club.
