Historical blow at the table! Real Madrid snatches Jorrel Hato and shakes Europe
Today, August 1, 2025, at 09:30 AM +07, the world of football is in shock after a historical movement that has redefined the transfers market. Real Madrid has achieved a master coup by snatching the young Dutch defender Jorrel Hato from Ajax Amsterdam, leaving Chelsea with empty hands and sending waves of astonishment throughout Europe. With a record transfer rate for a defender in the history of football, this transfer has not only consolidated the power of the White Club, but Hato’s statement after his arrival at Santiago Bernabéu has left all speechless.
The soap opera began weeks ago, when Chelsea seemed to be insured the incorporation of Hato, a 19 -year -old central talented with 111 games played for Ajax and six calls with the selection of the Netherlands. The negotiations between the London club and the Ajax advanced towards an agreement of 50 million euros. However, Real Madrid, under the strategic direction of Florentino Pérez, intervened with an irresistible offer of 65 million euros, exceeding the previous record adjusted by inflation, established by the transfer of Harry Maguire to Manchester United in 2019 for 80 million. The movement left Chelsea bewildered and Ajax without option other than accepting, consolidating the supremacy of Madrid in the summer market of 2025.
Hato, known for his versatility as a central or left lateral, provides youth, speed and exceptional maturity for his age – which made him captain of Ajax at age 18. His arrival at Real Madrid is seen as a key step to reinforce a defense that seeks to recover domain after an irregular 2024-25 season. However, it was his statement after signing the contract that really surprised. At a press conference at Bernabéu, Hato said: “I come to Real Madrid to not only defend, but to win everything and change football from behind.” These words, pronounced with overwhelming confidence, have generated a stir between fans and analysts, who see in him a powerful leader.
Social networks exploded with reactions. The hashtag #HatoalMadrid became a trend, with fans of Real Madrid celebrating the club’s cunning, while Chelsea fans expressed their frustration low #chelsearbado. Experts suggest that this transfer could mark a change of power, with Madrid surpassing their rivals in the race for young promises. For Ajax, the loss of another talent from its famous quarry is a blow, although the 65 million will allow them to reinvest.
While Real Madrid prepares for the 2025-26 season, the integration of Hato will be observed closely. Its ambitious statement has raised expectations, and fans are eager to see if you can justify the record price. This historical blow not only reinforces the legacy of the club, but also puts Hato in the center of the stage as a rising star, ready to redefine the future of defensive football.
