Daily: Real Madrid has contacted the agent of Levante striker Ayon, but the player prefers to join Barcelona

According to "Daily Sports" report, Ayon has become one of the most sought-after forwards on the market in just a few months. His performance at Levante was impressive, scoring 6 goals and providing 3 assists in 10 games, fully demonstrating his potential. Barca tried and failed to sign him in the final days of the summer transfer window and his value has now risen significantly.

Despite this, Barcelona is still very interested in him, and Real Madrid has also joined the race in recent weeks. Actu Cameroun's news points out that Real Madrid is paying close attention to Ayon's development and football director Solari strongly recommends signing the striker. Solari had previously hoped to introduce him to Real Madrid's youth training system, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement. Now Solari believes that the striker can become an important addition to the team.

"Daily Sports" can confirm that Real Madrid has indeed contacted the player's agent. The relationship between the two parties has been long-standing, but there has been no further action yet. Los Blancos are aware of the situation, but have not taken any concrete measures for the time being, because until January, Ayon does not plan to start thinking about his future. In addition, the player himself has made it clear that he prefers to join Barcelona. He expressed this intention this summer. Although it failed to make the trip at that time, he was willing to wait for Barcelona again until 2026.

Ayon will almost certainly leave Levante this summer. When he joined Levante from Villarreal, Ayon's contract included a series of clauses to ensure that both clubs can profit from it. If an offer of at least €15 million is received, the deal is almost certain to happen. Ayon's release clause is 30 million euros, and Villarreal has the right of first refusal, but Ayon does not want to return to a club that has not given him a chance.

Before the August transfer window closed, Barcelona maintained close contact with Ayon through Deco, but ultimately gave up on the transfer. They now believe Ayon's price is still attractive but will not engage in a high-dollar bidding war. Barcelona has not yet decided whether to introduce a new striker, nor has it been clear who will be selected. Deco has several options at hand, and Ayon is one of the priority targets, but there is no rush to make a decision at the moment.

Many Premier League teams are also interested in Ayon, but Barcelona knows that they will have priority. Real Madrid's involvement did not cause much concern, unless they came up with very high salary terms.
